Going into their third ACC game of the season, it was a rather big game for the Virginia Tech women's basketball team in terms of NCAA Tournament résumé-building purposes against Miami. In Charlie Creme's latest NCAA Tournament bracketology at ESPN, Miami was in the "First Four Out", while the Hokies were in the "Next Four Out".

Things were going in the right direction for Megan Duffy's team, which led by 18 points in the third quarter before things fell off the rails quickly.
