    It is an exciting time to be a Hokie! With our entrance into the Atlantic Coast Conference, Virginia Tech has truly come home, where it deserves to be, in the ACC. It is also an exciting time for Virginia Tech basketball. The 2004-05 schedule brings the greatest challenge in school history; competing in the ACC. The Atlantic Coast Conference is THE BEST BASKETBALL CONFERENCE IN THE NATION, PERIOD. And we intend not just to play, but to compete and win. Our motto for the season is: ACC ACCept the challenge, ACCept the opportunity. This season, Virginia Tech will have the toughest and most attractive home schedule in school history. With games against Duke, Virginia, Maryland, Wake Forest and our first-ever ACC game, against North Carolina on Dec. 19th. There is a pretty good chance that the Hokies will entertain the top- ranked team in the country several times during the season. We finished our run in the Big East Conference on a very positive note. advancing to the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament after winning our last five home games to complete a winning season. To compete in the ACC will take a lot more from our players, our coaches, our fans and our entire program. The 2003-04 season saw Virginia Tech fans return to Cassell Coliseum in droves. As a school, we ranked sixth nationally in increased attendance. With this season’s schedule, we can surpass that stat. Sellouts will rule! The most satisfying aspect of my first season at Virginia Tech was the support and enthusiasm demonstrated by the students, fans and Commonwealth.
