The Ladies deserve a FAM thread after last night's game.
27-point win and looked good on both ends of the floor. Duffy has this team coming together at the right time.
The next two games will tell us where we stand. At #20 NCSt Sunday and home vs #3 Notre Dame on Thursday. Cassell is going to be electric for that one!
Let's go!
The Ladies travel to the frozen north to play Pitt today at 6 PM. The game will be on ACCN extra. Pitt is 9-11, 1-6 in the ACC; the Hokies are 13-5, 4-3. PItt has lost to a bunch of top 20 teams and some not so great teams. Their one ACC win was at home against SMU. They have lost 5 of their last 6; but they have played decent teams over that span, losing to 4 ranked teams and Louisville. The Hokies beat Louisville 70-65 in their last game. Against other common opponents: Pitt lost to Miami 62-56; we beat them 68-64. Pitt lost to Ga Tech 100-61; we beat them 105-94 in double overtime. Duke beat Pitt 61-39; we lost to Duke 81-59. ESPN says we are 10.5 point favorites with an over/under of 134.5.

I did a little deep dive into the careers of the coaches at Virginia Tech to see A.) who is the best against the Top 25 and B.) how good Tech is overall against the Top 25.
The results were not good, and in some cases, surprising.
Breaking it down by Rank:
vs AP Top 5 (or equivalent pollster prior to the AP)
Brooks: 3-16 (all NC State)
Alfano: 1-16 (ODU)
Henrickson: 0-14
Dunkenberger: 0-12
Wolff: 0-7
All others: 0-0
VT: 4-65
