24. Virginia Tech Hokies

Previous Ranking: 21

Record: 12-3 (1-2 ACC)

The Hokies knocked out Duke, but lost badly at NC State and Florida State. Virginia Tech will take on Syracuse next in Blacksburg.

Forward Zach LeDay has continued to pace the team, but Chris Clarke is helping as well. The 6’6″ sophomore scored 22 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the Florida State loss. Clarke is third on the team in scoring and is the best shooter at 61 percent. Tech is a strong NCAA Tournament team right now, but they need to recover from a couple spankings.
