At halftime, the lead was extended to 43-32, with Miami outshooting NC State 59 percent to 32 percent and key players for Miami including Jasmyne Roberts with 11 points, Shaeann Day-Wilson with 9, Lashae Dwyer with 9, and Spearman contributing 7 points and 6 rebounds. Key players for Miami included Jasmyne Roberts, Shaeann Day-Wilson, and Lashae Dwyer, each scoring 18 points by the game's end.

NC State struggled with shooting throughout the game, finishing with a field goal percentage of 28.1 percent, and lacked production from their bench, particularly feeling the absence of River Baldwin. Miami dominated the paint, outscoring NC State 38-16.
Big road win for the #Hokies. Opportunity to get back above .500 in the ACC next week with BC and GT at home. https://t.co/hne01d81X7
Final: Virginia Tech 84, NC State 78. Huge win for #Hokies, their first on the road this season. They improve to 3-4 in ACC. Played very well, outside of turnovers. Finished with 20 miscues... but shot 53% and held Pack to 43%. Mike Young will take that. https://t.co/Yc3Y92ESUN
Final: VA Tech 84, NC State 78. Hokies' 1st road win of the year. Much more damaging loss for the Wolfpack than meets the naked eye.
Virginia Tech beats NC State 84-78 for first road win of the season
