Virginia Tech competes in NCAA Division I basketball as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, with both programmes playing home games at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, Virginia. The men's team is led by head coach Mike Young, now in his seventh season, while the women's programme enters its second year under head coach Megan Duffy. Both teams have passionate followings and continue traditions that span decades of Hokie basketball history.
The men's team has made 13 NCAA Tournament appearances, reaching the Elite Eight in 1967 and the Sweet Sixteen in both 1967 and 2019. The Hokies' most recent highlight came in 2022 when they captured the ACC Tournament championship. The women's programme achieved historic success under former coach Kenny Brooks, reaching the Final Four in 2023 for the first time in programme history. That same season saw the Hokies win the ACC Tournament, followed by claiming the ACC regular season title in 2024. Star Elizabeth Kitley, a three-time ACC Player of the Year, has returned to the programme in an advisory role.
This season marks a significant milestone as Virginia Tech women's basketball celebrates 50 seasons since the programme's founding in 1975. The Hokies have created numerous community initiatives and fan engagement opportunities throughout both programmes. Notable traditions include themed game nights at Cassell Coliseum, youth basketball camps, and partnerships with local schools. The rivalry with in-state competitor Virginia remains one of the most anticipated matchups each season, drawing significant crowds and media attention.
The Hokies basketball programmes have produced memorable moments throughout their histories, from the men's 1973 and 1995 NIT championship victories to the women's remarkable 2023 Final Four run. Virginia Tech joined the ACC in 2004, elevating the profile of both programmes through increased competition against traditional basketball powers.
