Boopie Miller poured in a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from just beyond halfcourt to lift SMU to a wild 77-76 win over Virginia Tech on Wednesday in an Atlantic Coast Conference game in Dallas.

The Hokies trailed by a point at intermission but leapfrogged to the front early in the second half and built an eight-point advantage with 14:24 left to play. SMU (13-4, 2-2 ACC) fought back, drawing to within 67-63 on a pair of free throws by Miller with 5:53 remaining and setting the stage for a furious finish.
