How to Watch and Listen: No. 1 Virginia Tech vs Texas Tech In the WBIT Second Round
After winning convincingly in the first round of the WBIT against NC A&T, Virginia Tech is back on the court tonight and hoping to make it to the quarterfinals. This afternoon, they will host Texas Tech, the fifth meeting between the two programs in their history.
Virginia Tech is 2-2 all-time against
Texas Tech in women’s basketball with
the most recent meeting taking place
on Dec. 20, 2005, in Cancun, Mexico.
All four meetings have come in a
multi-team event, including the
Caribbean Classic in Cancun, the Duel
in the Desert in Las Vegas, the NCAA
tournament in 2001 and the San Juan
Shootout in Puerto Rico.
This season the two clubs had two
common opponents in Florida State
and SMU. The Red Raiders lost both
games, while the Hokies went 1-1 with
a victory over SMU.
The last Big 12 opponent VT faced
was Baylor in the NCAA tournament
in 2024.
The 61-45 victory over the NC A&T
Aggies was the second this season
with the Hokies scoring 61 points.
It is the fewest points scored in a
Hokie victory since Tech beat Miami
while scoring 55 points at the ACC
tournament in 2024.
The win was the second this season
when shooting below 40% from the
field.
VT is now 14-1 this season when
holding opponents to 69 or fewer
points. Texas Tech averages 63.6
points per game.
Kayl Petersen registered five blocks,
it was the first time that a Hokie
recorded five since Elizabeth Kitley did
so vs. Kansas in the Cayman Islands
(Nov. 24, 2023).
Mackenzie Nelson recorded her third
double figure scoring game in the last
four outings. In those games she is
averaging 9 ppg, shooting 53% and
has a 16-3 assist-to-turnover ratio.
The only two games this season in
which the Hokies have had two or
fewer athletes score in doube figures
have been the last two (1-1).
The Hokies held NC A&T to single
digits in the second quarter. It was the
first time that the Hokies’ defense had
accomplished the feat since the Wake
Forest game on Jan. 12. Tech then did
it again in the third quarter.
Here is how you can watch today’s game.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.
Bobcat Goldthwait was burning couches on camera before it was cool.
But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

Hey, like it or not, sometimes in the age of NIL it can be a popularity contest. If fans like you, it could mean greater visibility and more lucrative deals. Perhaps that was the mission here, and we all know it worked.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
BRISTOL, Va. (WCYB) — Crews put out a house fire in Bristol, Virginia, on Wednesday morning, according to officials.
