    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.

W&M also had eight different program’s represented at the NCAA Championship level in some capacity. • The men’s cross country squad won its eighth consecutive CAA crown in the fall, while the women’s cross country team won its fifth straight. The women’s track and field team won its seventh CAA Championship in the last eight years, while the wom- en’s tennis team added its 20th all-time CAA crown in the 23-year history of the league during the spring. • In total, W&M had five conference players of the year, five conference scholar-ath- letes of the year, 18 All-Americans and 100 athletes earned all-conference honors in their respective sports during the 2007-08 season. • Individually, the women’s tennis doubles team of Megan Moulton-Levy and Katarina Zoricic garnered All-America honors by advancing to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship.

    BC formats_Layout 1 10/2/12 4:21 PM Page 1 BC formats_Layout 1 10/2/12 4:21 PM Page 2 There has never been a better time to be a part of the Boston College men’s basketball family, and I couldn’t be more excited about the future we are creating here in Chestnut Hill. We are proud of our participation in the Atlantic Coast Conference, a league that puts as much emphasis on academic performance as it does on athletic prowess. The ACC features nine universities that rank in the top 50 according to the U.S. News & World Report and also sent five teams to the NCAA Tournament last season. This year, we look forward to bigger and even better things. With one of the youngest teams in the country, I feel as though our potential is unlimited. After going through last season together and taking our trip to Spain in August, our team is ready to take the next step as we progress toward our goal of postseason play. We need to make Conte Forum one of the toughest places to play in the ACC. We have taken steps in my first two seasons to increase the fan base, and as we continue to grow and improve, more and more people will want to show their sup- port for our team. Another goal of ours is to graduate every player in our program because we recruit players not just for four years, but for 40. Receiving a Boston College educa- tion, a Jesuit education, is one of the great predictors of success, and I have no doubt that the education received, and the experiences shared both on and off the court enrich our students’ lives forever.
