Miami struggled with turnovers and shooting percentage in the game.
Virginia Tech drops its second Q1 chance of the week at Miami, 82-74. #Hokies led by as many as 10. Shot 48%, limited Miami to 45% but, in a way, imploded. Missed half of their FTs, had 11 turnovers, including three in 39 seconds in 2H. Simply put, missed opportunity. https://t.co/m5nPL168Hr
As much as Miami has struggled in this game, they are back within two points of the Hokies.
