Saturday wasn’t a great day for Virginia Tech basketball. The men’s team fell to Clemson, 63-59, meaning the Hokies will need a strong showing in the ACC Tournament to make the NCAA Tournament.
Meanwhile, the Lady Hokies played in the ACC semifinals for the first time in their ACC history but fell to top-seeded N.C. State, 70-55. The Hokies were without ACC player of the year Elizabeth Kitley, who missed the game with a shoulder injury she suffered in a win over UNC in the quarterfinals. The Hokies were also without another starter in Cayla King.
The good news for Tech is Kitley should be back for the NCAA Tournament, as should King.
