What a difference a week makes.
The outlook was pretty grim at this time last weekend. The Hokies were preparing to play #12 Virginia on Sunday as losers of three out of four, and were itching to get back on the court after a brutal loss against Miami that despite the score, was never really competitive.
The Hokies had just one Top 50 win at the time, and knew that a Virginia victory would likely put the team back in the good graces of the Selection Committee with exactly one month to Selection Sunday.
Not only did the Hokies upset #12 Virginia in double overtime at Cassell Coliseum, but they overcame a short turnaround to defeat Pittsburgh on the road on Tuesday night, without their best all-around player Chris Clarke, lost for the season with a torn ACL that he suffered on Sunday.
