Virginia Tech Hokies and Pittsburgh Panthers head-to-head record
In their five previous meetings, Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh have had a competitive past, with Virginia Tech claiming three of those games and Pittsburgh winning two. Pittsburgh's most recent win, a 79–64 score on the 25th of February 2024, showed how deep and effective their offense is. But from 2022 to 2023, Virginia Tech won three games in a row, including a 74-47 blowout win that showed they could stop Pittsburgh's attack. Virginia Tech's strong defense and even scoring were key factors in their closely fought games, while Pittsburgh's wins were marked by better offensive execution. Due to the difference in form and numbers, Pittsburgh's strong scoring and hitting edge could tip the balance in their favor. However, Virginia Tech's ability to step up effectively in key games means that an upset is still possible.
