Virginia Tech basketball: Hokies lose a heartbreaker on buzzer-beater

It’s just not Virginia Tech’s season. If you needed any further proof, Wednesday’s 78-75 loss to the Miami Hurricanes provided all the necessary evidence.

The Hokies played a mostly terrific game on offense. Virginia Tech shot 50% from the field and 50% from 3-point range, making 13 of 26 attempts from beyond the arc. Yet, it wasn’t enough to take down the Miami Hurricanes as Miami guard Charlie Moore took the inbounds pass with 1.8 seconds left and nailed a midcourt shot to give the ‘Canes a stunning victory.

Miami led by five points at halftime, but the Hokies quickly took the lead in the second half.
