John Schneider - SB Nation It’s always too easy to say that “I have a feeling about this one...”, but that’s the general observation of the pregame atmosphere on the court. It’s not that the team seemed down, but it did feel like something was just not comfortable and “happy”. Matilda had a superhero facemask on to protect her bashed nose from the NC A&T game, and that bothered her.

John Schneider - SB Nation Coach Duffy reached down into the bench for this one. Freshmen Ramiya White and Myah Hazelton even got some playing time. But some of that came from Coach Duffy just trying something to shake things up in the 1st quarter. The Hokies just didn’t get off to a very good offensive start as they missed something around 7 shot attempts from inside and outside and hit nothing in the first 4:22 of the quarter.

John Schneider - SB Nation There was a whole lot of hope going into the ACC Tournament for the Hokies. They had a first-round bye (maybe not a great thing, considering...) and Virginia Tech had already fought the Yellow Jackets to a double overtime victory in January. The Lady Hokies looked like they were going to battle to the end in this one, but there were some troubling aspects to the first half performance that just really began a level of concern for the 2nd half.

John Schneider - SB Nation Well, it’s over! Though not completely just yet. The Virginia Tech Hokie Women’s basketball team absolutely needed a win in Clemson to retain some sort of position on the post season tournament possibilities. A win in Clemson would get them a first-round bye and an 8th seed in the ACC Tournament that starts Tuesday. In addition to that, Tech was almost knocked off its bubble for a potential bid to the NCAA Tournament with the heartbreaking OT loss to Boston College.

John Schneider - SB Nation It’s really difficult to talk about the interactions on the floor without seeing the game, live. We sometimes miss contests and have to track them on the Hokie Sports score tracker, but even then, the updates would freeze for entire portions of a period, and there would be the sudden appearance of a score. The interactions on the court and the demeanor of the players just do not come across no matter how good the play-by-play relay is or the audio descriptions are.
