The Ladies open their NCAA Tournament play today at 3:30 against Marshall. The Hokies are 24-7 and 15-0 at home. Marshall is 26-6 and 12-5 on the road.
Marshall has not yet played a top 25 team this year; we have played several. However we ended the season losing 3 of our last 4 games. Marshall is on a 10 game winning streak.. In our one common opponent, they lost to Wake Forest by 7 and we beat Wake by 9. So by the transitive property of sports scores, we should win by 16. The Wise Guys think we will win by 10.5.
Kenny Brooks says Elizabeth Kitley will not participate in the NCAA Tournament due to a lower-leg injury. #Hokies— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) March 21, 2024
Welp, that's not good
Later confirmed to be a torn ACL

Lot of host schools lost today.
BC beat Providence
North Texas beat LSU
Minnesota beat Butler.
USF looks like it's going to beat UCF.
Georgia and Ohio State escaped upsets in the final seconds of their gams.
Hokies actually had largest margin of victory so far.

An article from The Guardian, a British news source published late last night, anointed the Hokies' guard as Australia's next basketball star.
Which ACC teams do we think are out? UVA, Wake Forest, Pitt? Plays a big role in where or if the Hokies get an NIT hosting opportunity or bid at all.
What other bubble team do you want to see in or out?
How about Long Beach State making the tournament after their coach was told by the administration that he is fired at seasons end?
What else are you looking for?
Does the SEC get teams with losing records into the NIT with their autobids since several teams have already made it clear they are declining?
What everyone expecting? Saw that the Hokies will not have a watch party so have to think thats in case they arent selected to host.
Do we also get the Kitley update after the selection?
What else are you looking for?
How many teams does the ACC get into the tournament?
