Buzz Williams & Hokies’ hoops squad visits Bills
The Virginia Tech’s men’s basketball squad got a dose of the NFL on Tuesday when head coach Buzz Williams and the team were hosted by the Buffalo Bills at New Era Stadium and the ADPRO Sports Training Center Fieldhouse. The tour was led by Matt Worswick, currently the assistant to Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott. Worswich previously worked at Marquette during Coach Williams’ tenure there. Coach McDermott addressed the squad, as the Hokies made sure to get their photos in front of the lockers of Tyrod Taylor and Logan Thomas.
