Here's my pseudo-code expanded a bit to accommodate the start and end date bits:
declare @StartDate datetime
,@EndDate datetime
set @EndDate = dateadd(hour, 8, DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, DATEADD(HOUR, - 8, getdate()))))
set @StartDate = dateadd(hour, - 73, @EndDate)
select col1
,col2
from table
where [convert varchar date and time to datetime] between @StartDate
and @EndDate
That's how it works in T-SQL. Just need to convert that to Oracle.
--Edit: fixed typo.
