Virginia Tech basketball: Hokies stun Miami for first ACC win

Senior forward Mylyjael Poteat was not about to see the Virginia Tech Hokies begin ACC play 0-3. Poteat’s 3-point play with 2.7 seconds remaining helped the Hokies defeat Miami 86-85 on Saturday from Cassell Coliseum.

Poteat made the bucket with an assist from freshman point guard Ben Hammond, went to the free-throw line, and sank the game-winner. Poteat wasn't just brilliant at the end of the game, though.
