Coming into the 2023-24 women’s college basketball season, the hopes were high around the Virginia Tech and Iowa teams, and why not? Both teams were two of the final four teams standing in Dallas last spring in the Final Four. They were on opposite sides of the bracket and they did not get to play each other.

Virginia Tech lost to LSU in the semifinals and Iowa was able to outlast South Carolina to advance to the championship game where they ended up losing to the Tigers. Now almost eight months later, the Hokies and Hawkeyes will meet in just the second game of the season.

Thursday night, Nov. 9, Virginia Tech and Iowa will engage in a Top 10 battle at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Hokies begin the season ranked No. 8 in the Associated Press Top 25, while the Hawkeyes are No. 3. The two heavyweights will tip off at 8 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on ESPN2.

Before the game, the ACC Network will be live in Charlotte with ACC PM beginning at 4 p.m. with Mark Packer, Taylor Tannebaum, and Kelly Gremlich leading the two-hour coverage. The trio was in Blacksburg Monday night ahead of the season-opener against High Point. Following the showdown with Iowa, the ACC Network will be back live at the Spectrum Center at 10:30 to review the basketball game and the Thursday night ACC football game, Virginia at Louisville, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.

Virginia Tech against Iowa is going to have a lot of eyes tuned into the TV to watch a much-anticipated early-season Top 10 battle. Elizabeth Kitley against Caitlin Clark along with the other players is a great early-season test for both teams and ESPN2 is the channel to have on Thursday night.
