ACC/BIG TEN CHALLENGE RETURNS TO CASSELL IN DECEMBER
- Tech defeated Wisconsin 70-60 in 2021 for their sixth consecutive victory in the competition, helping the ACC secure another win in The Challenge last season.
- The Hokies are one of two programs across the league to boast a six-game streak in The Challenge (Florida State).
- Coach Brooks is 5-0 in the competition, owning wins over Nebraska, Illinois, Rutgers, Purdue and Wisconsin by an average margin of 19.0 points.
BROOKS CEMENTS HIS PLACE IN HISTORY
- There have been five ACC WBB head coaches to win each of their first five ACC/B1G Challenge games: Kenny Brooks, MaChelle Joseph (2007-11 at GT), Jeff Walz (2014-18 at Louisville), Muffet McGraw (2013-18 at Notre Dame) and Brenda Frese (2007-13 at Maryland). Frese won her first seven games in the competition and since 2013 when UMD moved to the Big Ten, she and the Terps are 5-2 in The Challenge.
- Brooks’ 5-0 mark is tied for the third-longest streak to begin a tenure. McGraw (6) and Frese (7) are the only coaches with a longer streak.
- VT is on a six-game streak overall in the competition, which is the second-longest of any ACC squad. FSU is on a nine-game streak.
