Buzz Williams Returns to Virginia Tech | Aggies Basketball News

Maryland basketball is heating up the preseason with a surprise secret scrimmage against Virginia Tech — Buzz Williams’ former home. The Terps, fresh off scheduling West Virginia and Georgia Tech, are revisiting the court where Williams turned around a struggling Hokies program into a NCAA Tournament contender. His 2014-2019 tenure saw 100 wins, three straight March Madness bids, and even walk-ons who became doctors and Navy SEALs. Now, under Mike Young, Virginia Tech’s fortunes have dipped — 19-13 last season, no NIT, and several players entering the transfer portal — but key pieces like Ben Hammond, Amani Hansberry, and Tyler Johnson are expected back. This matchup isn’t just about hoops — it’s a reunion of grit, legacy, and the high-stakes drama of coaching reinvention.
