Two teams with aspirations of making the 2026 NCAA men's basketball tournament are going to meet in South Florida on Tuesday night when Virginia Tech visits Miami. Talk about two teams going in opposite directions. For the Hurricanes, they're going in the right direction at the right time. The Hokies are heading in the wrong direction at the wrong time.
Virginia Tech moved in the right direction last Wednesday night at No. 20 Clemson. The Hokies played their best 40 minutes of the season in a huge Quad 1 win, 76-66, over the Tigers. Then, just three days later, they threw all that good away by being embarrassed by Florida State at home.
