The Virginia Tech Hokies face the No. 18 Virginia Cavaliers, led by quarterback Chandler Morris, on Saturday, Nov. 29, 2025 at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Va.

Standing in their way is the program that they have hardly beaten in these players’ lifetimes.

Virginia Tech was hampered by the loss of last year's top scorer and rebounder, Tobi Lawal, who played 15 minutes in the Hokies' 66-64 win over Colorado State in the opening round of the tournament.
