Hokies will play host to Radford in season opener

BLACKSBURG – The NRV will be in for an exciting matchup it hasn't seen in three years on Nov. 25, when the first slate of games in college basketball take place, with the Virginia Tech men's basketball team playing host to Radford in Cassell Coliseum.

The time and which network will carry the game will be announced at a later date.

The last time the Hokies and Highlanders played was in 2017, a 85-68 victory for Tech behind 20 points each from Justin Bibbs and Kerry Blackshear Jr. The Hokies' lone player who's still on the roster is point guard Wabissa Bede, who tallied six points off the bench in 10 minutes of action.

Tech leads the all-time series 8-2, which first began in 1988, and has won four out of the last five, with the lone loss coming in 2014 (68-66).

Capacity at Cassell Coliseum for the upcoming season is currently set at 1,000 based on Commonwealth of Virginia regulations. This number is subject to change, with it being based off of current day regulations.

Dates for when single-game tickets will be available, as well as the process in place for purchasing, will be announced at a later date.

The rest of the Hokies' nonconference slate will be released soon. To view what has already been announced, click here.
