The Virginia Tech Hokies had a grand opportunity on Tuesday night with the red-hot No. 13 Miami Hurricanes in town. Tech, which knocked off Pittsburgh on Saturday, had another shot at a premier win.
As with most games this season, the Hokies came up short, falling to the ‘Canes, 76-70. Virginia Tech drops to 16-12 on the season, with a 6-11 record in ACC play.
How did it happen?
Miami virtually led the entire game, but the Hokies kept it close. It felt like the Hurricanes were pulling away throughout the game, yet the scrappy Hokies would hit a 3-pointer or reel off six points in a row to pull back within four points.
