Two seasons and two different conferences for Virginia Tech head man Seth Greenberg. In his inaugural season in Blacksburg, Greenberg led the Hokies to a 15-14 finish, only good for eighth place in the Big East, but showed enough to prove that he is the right man for the job at Tech. The team managed a winning season last year, but was extremely one-dimensional, riding the wave of momentum provided by All-American Bryant Matthews, who was one of the Big East's top stars, averaging a hefty 22.1 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. Those numbers will be impossible to match by any one player this season, but the return of senior swingman Carlos Dixon (13.8 ppg in 2002-03) from a season-ending foot injury and surgery is a good place to start. Last season, a pair of freshmen handled the backcourt duties in Zabian Dowdell (10.8 ppg) and Jamon Gordon (9.8 ppg). Both should continue to see their games rise in their new conference and with the addition of incoming freshman Marquie Cooke (6-3, 200) this is a backcourt that could be a real asset to the Hokies. There is no low post game to speak of for Virginia Tech now that Matthews has moved on. The 6-8, 230-pound Coleman Collins (8.7 ppg, 3.7 rpg) has shown signs of becoming a solid contributor down low, but there is little else in terms of a proven commodity. In 2004-05, Dixon, like Matthews before him, will need to carry this team at the offense end and hope that his teammates can help night in and night out. Although the Big East is a formidable conference, the Hokies are likely to find the road even tougher in the first season in the ACC.
