After missing March Madness last season, the Hokies finished the 2025-26 season with a 23-9 record, including a 12-6 mark in ACC and are dancing again.
The Hokies are the No. 9 seed in the Fort Worth bracket, where they’ll face No. 8 Oregon on Friday in Austin, Texas.
The Ducks represent the Big Ten and finished the year with a 22-12 record, including an 8-10 conference record. Oregon has four players averaging in double figures, led by 5-foot-11 sophomore guard Katie Fiso, who averages over 15 points per game. Tech could have some issues with Oregon’s frontcourt.
Mia Jacobs, a 6-foot-2 forward, averages 12. 6 points and five rebounds per game, while 6-foot-0 forward Ehis Etute averages 12. 6 points and 8.
