This was a serious matchup. The Syracuse Orange against the Burnt Orange and Chicago Maroon of you Virginia Tech Hokies. That might have been a whole lot of red, yellow, and trace colors to visually digest, but the Hokies wore their good luck black unis. Maybe that made the difference. This game was a really even match up right until the fourth quarter.
Virginia Tech took the home court for the evening ranked 13th, and sporting a bit of a struggle going on for several players on the court. The prior two games the loss against Duke, and the road win in Hooville were marked by some scoring issues with Georgia Amoore and Liz Kitley.
