Vassallo + Delaney + Allen = The Big 3. Seems Like a Good Formula to Me.
The Hokie Basketball team got another big win yesterday down in Miami. That’s 2 straight tough conference road wins and suddenly Virginia Tech is a hot team. I’ve said many times on this blog, I enjoy watching this year’s team – there’s lots of excitement and drama involved.
