Virginia Tech bounced back from their loss to Boston College by getting their second win of the year against Miami, but the Hokies face a much bigger challenge tonight. No. 19 Louisville comes to Blacksburg to face Virginia Tech and the Cardinals are rolling right now. They are No. 2 in the ACC Standings and one of the few ACC teams that seem destined to play in the NCAA Tournament. Pat Kelsey has done a great job of turning the program around in just one year, but can they avoid the upset tonight?

Virginia Tech carries a four-game winning streak in the series into Tuesday’s clash with the No. 25 Cardinals. The Hokies swept the two meetings a year ago: 75-68 in Blacksburg; 80-64 in Louisville. UofL still leads the series, 36-12, which dates back to Jan. 28, 1979. Prior to their four-game winning streak in the series, VT had lost 17 in a row to the Cardinals. Tech is 4-8 against Louisville as ACC foes and 3-18 when the Cardinals are ranked in the AP poll. The Hokies are 5-16 against UofL in Blacksburg. Louisville head coach Pat Kelsey and Virginia Tech head coach Mike Young have squared off three times before, with Young winning two of those battles at Wofford while Kelsey was the head coach at Winthrop. Kelsey won the most recent head-to-head battle with College of Charleston defeating the Hokies, 77-75, in the 2022 Charleston Classic title game. Tech forward Ben Burnham, who played for the Cougars at the time, had nine points on 4 for 5 shooting.

Tonight will be the first time Tech forward Ben Burnham squares off against his former head coach Pat Kelsey and teammates Reyne Smith, James Scott, Kobe Rodgers and Spencer Legg. Burnham was part of two CAA regular-season championship, two tournament championship and two NCAA tournament teams while at the College of Charleston. He averaged 9.5 points in three seasons with the Cougars, including a career-best 11.9 ppg as a junior. Burnham dialed up 19 points in CofC’s first-round game against Alabama in the 2024 NCAA tournament.
