Hoopsters head for Canada

Later this afternoon, Seth Greenberg and the Virginia Tech men's basketball team will be heading over to Virginia Tech Montgomery Executive Airport and board the team charter for the flight to Windsor, Ontario. The Hokies will play three exhibition games this weekend in the Canadian city, just across the river from Detriot.

The Hokies will play a pair of games on Saturday. The Hokies will play the London (Ont.) All-Stars at noon and then play the host University of Windsor at 8 p.m. On Sunday, the Hokies will play the Windsor (Ont.) All-Stars at noon before returning to Blacksburg that night. All games will be played at the University of Windsor.

The team has practiced 10 times since the start of classes. The NCAA allows programs to take international exhibition trips once every four years. The Hokies will begin regular season practice on Oct. 12 in preparation for the season open on Nov. 9 at home against Elon.
