NBC Sports is very optimistic about the Hokies basketball season

I'm all in on Buzz Williams' boys this season. There isn't a coach in the country that is better at slapping together a group of players that were overlooked, under-recruited and are hungry-to-prove-themselves and winning with them. He did it at Marquette for years, and the result was a whole lot of wins and guys like Jae Crowder, Jimmy Butler and Wesley Matthews in the NBA.

That's precisely who he has on his roster this year. I'd be willing to bet even die-hard ACC fans can't name more than one player on Virginia Tech's roster right now, but Buzz has some guys that can play. Zach LeDay and Seth Allen are probably the two best players he has at his disposal, but Buzz has talent, depth and grit up and down his roster.

And they bring everyone back from last season while adding a healthy Ahmed Hill and Ty Outlaw to the mix.

The Hokies aren't "win the ACC" good, not with how loaded the ACC is this season, but they are "win four games in March" good.

In short, a Final Four run. Here is the rest of the 7 sleepers that they have for this season.

I don't think I've been this excited a basketball season before. I ordered my season tickets as soon as they went on sale for us, and I know I'm going to be at every game.
