There was more on the line than an important ACC conference game between the men of Miami and Virginia Tech on Tuesday night. As the second half of a tight battle winded down, a usual Virginia Tech promotion from the company Smithfield came into focus.
If Miami would miss consecutive free throws, everyone at Cassell Coliseum would go home with free bacon. It came down to the Hurricanes’ Jordan Miller with a little over 4:30 left, who missed a first free throw and set everything into motion.
