Virginia Tech and Brent Pry have turned to the NFL ranks to hire Cardinals linebackers coach Sam Siefkes as defensive coordinator.

There are a number of issues with the struggling Virginia Tech men’s basketball team. The point guard position remains one of them. Virginia Tech (8-12, 3-6 ACC), which is on a three-game losing streak, hopes for better play at that spot when it visits Florida State (13-7, 4-5) at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

No. 3 Notre Dame faces the Virginia Tech Hokies after Hannah Hidalgo scored 23 points in the Fighting Irish's 89-63 win over the Boston College Eagles.

Virginia Tech has hired Sam Siefkes as defensive coordinator after he spent the last two seasons as the Arizona Cardinals' linebackers coach.

Siefkes had come to Arizona after two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. He replaces the fired Chris Marve at Virginia Tech.

The agency grants at least $30 billion per year for biomedical research. At Fralin Biomedical, where most grants are multiyear awards, the NIH’s portfolio is $163 million, according to Virginia Tech figures. It accounts for about 68% of all outside funding to FBRI, the figures show.
