Virginia Tech Hokies Basketball Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Virginia Tech’s basketball program is in full rebuild mode for 2026-27, keeping just five players from last year’s roster after four straight NCAA Tournament misses. Gone is top recruit Neoklis Avdalas, who transferred to North Carolina despite averaging over 10 points per game — inconsistency in conference play hurt his impact. Only two of their top seven scorers, guard Ben Hammond and forward Amani Hansberry, are returning. To fill the void, they’ve added experienced transfers: guards Isaiah Elohim and Jaylen Curry, and forwards Kuol Atak, Ethan Copeland, and Miles Heide. Despite the upheaval, some analysts think the Hokies could still pull off a surprise — even being projected as a tournament team — thanks to the leadership of Hammond and Hansberry.
