- SMU executed a final play after Jaron Pierre Jr.'s rebound with 1.7 seconds left, inbounding to B.J. Edwards, who hit Miller on the move for two dribbles and a half-court launch at the horn.
- Miller posted 24 points with 19 after halftime, going 6-for-15 from the field and 11-for-16 at the line, with the winner his first made 3-pointer after five misses.
- Virginia Tech faltered late at the stripe, finishing 61% on free throws and 43% in the second half, and an inbounds turnover in the final seconds opened the door.
- The Mustangs improved to 13-4 and 2-2 in the ACC, snapped a two-game skid, and stayed perfect at home, while the Hokies fell to 13-5 and 2-3.
- SMU hosts Virginia on Saturday; coach Andy Enfield said the decisive call was simple: "Let's get the ball to Boopie and we rode with that."
