Virginia Tech basketball has delivered high-stakes ACC action over the past 10 days. The Virginia Tech women’s team notched a big road win, defeating Stanford 79-67. A key Quad 1 victory powered by a dominant third quarter and strong scoring from Carys Baker.
Not stopping there, the Hokies followed that up with another West Coast victory, topping California 68-58 in Berkeley to complete the trip sweep and strengthen their NCAA Tournament resume. The back-to-back road wins showcased Tech’s defensive intensity and balanced offensive attack at a crucial point in conference play.
On the men’s side, the Hokies earned a statement road win by beating No. 20 Clemson 76-66, snapping the Tigers’ momentum and boosting Tech’s postseason hopes. However, that energy stalled in a 67-66 loss at Miami, where Tre Donaldson scored the Hurricanes’ final 15 points and Virginia Tech’s last-second attempt fell short.
From statement wins to one-point heartbreak, the Hokies are grinding toward March with urgency, and every possession matters.
