The low point of Virginia Tech’s basketball season occurred one month to the day Saturday. On that day, the Miami Hurricanes and Hokies were tied at 75 with 1.8 seconds remaining. Miami inbounded the ball to guard Charlie Moore behind midcourt; Moore proceeds to throw a hail mary to the basket, connecting to shock Tech in Blacksburg.
The Hokies fell to 10-10 on the season with a 2-7 record in the ACC. Twitter and message boards wanted to fire head coach Mike Young, proving social media and message boards aren’t real life.
But the Hokies regrouped, winning six in a row and seven out of eight entering Saturday’s rematch against the Hurricanes in Coral Gables.
