Do you believe in miracles?…Â Yes!
The florida state seminoles just knocked off the miami hurricanes in overtime, 75-72. miami had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation but missed a three-point shot. With miami’s loss, the Hokies have clinched at least the #4 seed in the ACC Tournament next week and a first round bye. The Hokies have earned a first round bye in three of their four years in the league. Pretty good for a “football” school. Tech won’t play until Friday next week.
With a win tomorrow, the Hokies enter the ACC Tourney as the #3 seed and likely clinch a NCAA Tournament berth regardless of how they do in the ACC Tournament, although a win in the quarterfinals on Friday would help erase any doubt about their place in the Big Dance.

This is big… no one has ever been denied a bid to the NCAA tournament with a 10-6 record.
