Virginia Tech is looking to avenge the ACC's performance in the first day of the SEC/ACC Men's Challenge Presented by Continental Tire. The SEC almost swept the first day of the conference challenge. The SEC won nine out of the ten games and the only win for the ACC was a thrilling upset of the unranked Clemson Tigers overpowering the No. 4 Kentucky Wildcats 80-76.
