Fresh off of an upset win over the Duke Blue Devils on Monday night, the Miami Hurricanes thought they had secured another over No. 16 Virginia Tech. They were seeking redemption having lost to the Hokies at Cassell Coliseum, 80-78, earlier this season.
Yet the whirlwind of surprises continued for the injury-plagued Canes on Saturday afternoon at the Watsco Center, as Virginia Tech guard Hunter Cattoor connected on four 3-point shots with the fourth being the one that sent the ball game to overtime.
Senior guard Chris Lykes, who has appeared in only two games this season, was sidelined as he nears the end of his ongoing recovery from a left ankle sprain.
