Baker continued her dominant play on both ends tonight. She finished the game with a team-high 24 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. Baker shot the ball efficiently tonight, shooting 57% from the field and 57% from three-point range, but she missed one of the overtime game-tying baskets.

4. Micheaux Ejection!

End of the third quarter: Virginia Tech 66, Boston College 63.

Still trying to figure out what in the world happened at that stoppage that warranted a Micheaux ejection. Again, didn't have a good look, and no replay shown.

Rose Micheaux was ejected in the third quarter for a push and foul language. Fans were confused as there was no accurate indication of a push from Micheaux and she helped score 6 of the team's 27 points in the third quarter.

5. Matilda Ekh
