The Hokies all but wrapped up an NCAA tournament bid in Boston College over the weekend, but have a chance to strengthen their resume with Miami coming into town tonight. A year after Jim Larranaga led the Hurricanes to one of their best seasons in history, Miami is one of the hotter teams in the conference. They have won six of their last seven and are coming off a week where they beat both Virginia and Duke. The Hokies are on a similar run, as they have won four of their last five games.
In the last meeting against Miami, Virginia Tech was actually competitive on the road until a late 8-0 run in the first half gave the Hurricanes the momentum they needed to pull away.
