Virginia Tech women's basketball is set to travel to Raider Arena in Niceville, Fla., several days before Thanksgiving. The Hokies will participate in a four-team, four-game tournament with Alcorn State, Michigan State and UT Martin.

Virginia Tech will play against UT Martin on Monday, Nov. 23, at 2:30 p.m. ET, with the third-place consolation game set for Tuesday, Nov. 24, at 12 p.m. ET and the championship final set for 2:30 p.m. ET.

Here is a look at the full tournament slate:

Monday, November 23

  • 12 p.m. ET: Alcorn State vs. Michigan State
  • 2:30 p.m. ET: Virginia Tech vs. UT Martin

Tuesday, November 24

  • 12 p.m. ET: Third-place consolation game (loser of Alcorn State/Michigan State vs. loser of Virginia Tech/UT Martin)
  • 2:30 p.m. ET: Third-place consolation game (winner of Alcorn State/Michigan State vs. winner of Virginia Tech/UT Martin)

If Virginia Tech plays Alcorn State at any point in the tournament, it will be the second all-time meeting between the two programs. The Hokies won the last meeting 87-44 on Dec. 29, 2010, in the Hilton Garden Classic at Cassell Coliseum (Blacksburg, Va.).

The Hokies and UT Martin have faced off twice before this year, which will mark their third all-time showdown. Virginia Tech is 2-0, having won in 2002-03 by an 87-55 margin. The last clash, however, was much closer; then-No. 24 Virginia Tech claimed a tight victory at the San Juan Shootout (San Juan, Puerto Rico) by a 54-49 final score.

Virginia Tech is 3-1 against Michigan State all-time, with its lone loss being a 57-29 defeat at East Lansing, Mich. in the 2012-13 season. Virginia Tech won its last matchup 72-66 in the 2013-14 season.

Virginia Tech also obtained contracts via FOIA: UNC Greensboro on Nov. 29, Campbell on Dec. 13 and College of Charleston on Dec. 28.
