The NCAA announced an expansion to 76 teams beginning next March, a change that could open a new pathway for Virginia Tech. Early bracketology from CBS Sports placed the Hokies among the ‘Last Four In,’ while ESPN analyst Joe Lunardi kept them on the outside looking in, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding their at‑large prospects. Roster movement has been a focal point of the offseason. Key contributors Amani Hansberry, Tyler Johnson and Ben Hammond are slated to return, providing continuity and experience.
