Projection: likely out

When evaluating Virginia Tech's tournament resume, a few key points jump out. Notably, the Hokies have some quality wins, with triumphs over teams like Iowa State and Clemson standing out as the kind of victories the selection committee looks favorably upon. However, the loss to Florida Atlantic by a considerable margin and the inability to secure a win against Auburn—which would have been a marquee victory—stand as missed opportunities to bolster their case. Additionally, consistency has been an issue, as demonstrated by losses to teams like Miami FL and Notre Dame, which have dinged their profile. Finally, a series of defeats against higher-ranked conference opponents like Duke and North Carolina, along with a loss in the ACC tournament to a formidable but beatable Florida State squad, suggest that this team might struggle to string together the necessary wins in the pressure-cooker of March Madness. With these factors in mind, despite the bright spots on their resume, Virginia Tech's overall body of work likely leaves them on the outside looking in when selections are announced.
