Hokies Host Rebels in Big Test

Hokies Host Rebels in Big Test

Author: The Daily News Now! June 5, 2026 Duration: 1:48

Virginia Tech gears up for a high-stakes ACC/SEC Challenge showdown against Ole Miss on December 1st — a rivalry matchup last seen in 2017-18, with all five prior games decided by single digits. Ole Miss, despite a Sweet Sixteen run and surprising SEC Tournament run, ended with a losing record. Virginia Tech, meanwhile, misses the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight year despite a strong home record and a roster overhaul, with only five key players returning after major departures. Their non-conference slate includes Coppin State, Old Dominion, and a Charleston Classic featuring teams like Minnesota and Oklahoma State. Can the Hokies’ new-look roster rise to the challenge and build momentum early?
