Soon after Ohio State women’s basketball’s 73-61 win over the UConn Huskies, there wasn’t much time for the Buckeyes to celebrate. The Scarlet & Gray sat behind the backboard watching a matchup between the SEC and ACC. No. 1 seed, the Virginia Tech Hokies, battled the No. 4 Tennessee Volunteers.
In the final Sweet Sixteen game in Seattle, Washington, the Hokies started strong, withstood a comeback and defeated the Volunteers. Virginia Tech now faces Ohio State Monday.
Virginia Tech began the game with a 9-0 run, similar to the Huskies pushing the Buckeyes down eight in the first game of the day.
