Winners of three in a row, the Virginia Tech women's basketball team was looking to pick up a fourth straight win on Thursday night at home against Clemson. It was also a big game in terms of the NCAA Tournament as the Tigers were part of the "Last Four In" according to Charlie Creme of ESPN, and Virginia Tech was in the "First Four Out". Both teams needed the win badly, and it was the Hokies who picked up the valuable win.
Clemson took a six-point halftime lead at 39-33, and then led 68-60 late in the fourth quarter when Virginia Tech turned up the defensive pressure and outscored the Tigers 11-0 to close out the game and improve to 15-5 overall and 5-3 in the ACC.
