Virginia Tech played in the Big East from 2001 till 2004 and Syracuse never played @Virginia Tech

This is another reason the Big East leadership was a joke and looked out for the Providence College's of the world. I get conference split into 2 divisions during this time, but the fact one of the top three basketball brands in the Big East Syracuse NEVER played 1 game AT Virginia Tech over 4 years is mind boggling. However during this time frame Providence hosted Syracuse during 2001-2002 season, DID not play 2002-2003 season, 2003-2004 season. While Syracuse hosted Virginia Tech during the 2001-2002 season, DID not play 2002-2003 season and hosted them VPI during the 2003-2004 season. I wonder why this crap happened? This is why I am glad we are no longer affiliated with Catholic Basketball schools, and they took advantage of the better basketball brands while football schools were afterthoughts. I actually feel bad that we never played at Virginia Tech one time while they were in the Big East. This game tonight won't be easy because we have never played in Cassel Coliseum before under Jim Boeheim.

This game would not be any easier or harder if we played there 10 years ago...

There's a joke on Techsideline that Boeheim specifically requested from Swofford a game at VT when their students were away.

Aside from the joke that we never played there, in 2002 we didn't play UConn. Another year we didn't play SJU. Tranghese had the nerve to criticize SU for breaking up rivalries when huge conference rivalry games had to take a year off on his watch.

The students go to games?

Great court storming there a couple of years ago after VPI beat Dook.
