Virginia Tech used a barrage of three-pointers in the first half to gain a six-point lead, which ballooned to 17 points in the second half before Georgia Tech used a late run to get back in it. However, the Hokies hit their free throws down the stretch in an 88-82 win that secured the fourth seed in the upcoming ACC tournament for Virginia Tech (23-7, 10-6) and the seventh seed for Georgia Tech (19-11, 7-9 ACC).

The Hokies were on fire from long range in the first half at Alexander Memorial Coliseum, nailing eight of their 10 attempts from beyond the arc. As a team in the first half, Tech shot 59.3% to gain a 45-39 lead on top of the Jackets, despite their 36% shooting.

Virginia Tech Hokies (22-7, 9-6 ACC)

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (19-10, 7-8 ACC)

Saturday, March 6 @ 4 p.m.

TV: Raycom Sports

Alexander Memorial Coliseum, Atlanta, GA

The Opponent: Georgia Tech has consistently been the most inconsistent team in the ACC this year. They boast a 14-1 home record, with their only loss coming to Florida State in overtime in December. Conversely, the Jackets are 1-7 on the road in conference, with the only win being against UNC in the middle of January.

The Jackets are big, and that may be an understatement. Gani Lawal (6-9, 234 lbs) and Derrick Favors (6-10, 246) control the post for Georgia Tech, averaging 25 points and 17 rebounds per game between themselves. On the other side, Tech's tallest starter, Victor Davila, is only 6-8.

 
Hokies Get Back on Winning Track, Defeat Wolfpack 71-59 E-mail

It took awhile for the Hokies to get going, but once they started hitting shots, it was all but over for NC State. Tech (22-7, 9-6 ACC) closed the first half on a 12-2 run and finished off the Wolfpack (16-14, 4-11 ACC) in the second half en route to a 71-59 victory on Senior Night at Cassell Coliseum.

It didn't look pretty for the Hokies early, as Tech only made three of its first 13 shot attempts. This could have been attributed to a different starting lineup with Lewis Witcher and Paul Debnam starting instead of Terrell Bell and Victor Davila, but the regulars were ice cold as well. Thankfully, the Hokies heated up by hitting 21 of their final 40 shots to end the game, and were never really in any danger.

NC State Wolfpack (16-13, 4-10 ACC)

Wednesday, March 3 @ 7 p.m.

TV: Not Available

Cassell Coliseum, Blacksburg, VA

The Opponent: The last time these two met, the Hokies trounced the hapless Wolfpack 72-52 in Raleigh. State didn't make a three-pointer for the first time since 1989 and shot a woeful 28.6% for the game. On the flip side, Tech had perhaps its best offensive game of the year, shooting 52.6%.

The Hokies started out hot, making their first 10 shots against the Wolfpack, en route to a 26-7 advantage. State never got going and seemed to mail it in for the majority of the game. However, the Pack have seen their fortunes turn as of late.

Hokies Suffer Devastating Double OT Loss to Maryland E-mail

Tech needed to win this game to improve its NCAA chances, and they had a lot of opportunities to knock off the Maryland Terrapins. In the end, though, it was Greivis Vasquez and the Terps who came out on top, 104-100 in double overtime at Cassell Coliseum. It was the third loss in a row for the Hokies (21-7, 8-6 ACC), and the first in front of the Cassell faithful. Maryland (21-7, 11-3) clinched the second seed in the upcoming ACC tournament, and can move into first with a win over Duke Wednesday.

The Hokies seemed to be out of it at the end of regulation, but Terrell Bell stole an inbounds pass, and JT Thompson nailed his second career three-pointer after a Tech timeout to tie the game up at 80-80. After Eric Hayes hit a clutch jumper for the Terps, Malcolm Delaney went the length of the court in less than five seconds and converted a difficult layup to tie the game at 82-82 and force overtime.

Maryland Terrapins (20-7, 10-3 ACC)

Saturday, February 27 4 p.m.

TV: Raycom Sports

Cassell Coliseum, Blacksburg, VA

The Opponent: Maryland comes into Blacksburg as the second-hottest team in the ACC, trailing only Duke in the conference standings. The Terps have a chance to win the ACC if they knock off the Hokies and Duke in their next game, which they could very well do. Maryland will be playing their sixth game in 14 days when they play Saturday, and with Duke looming Wednesday, no one would blame the Terrapins for looking a little bit past Tech.

The overall leader for Maryland is senior Greivis Vasquez (6-6, 200 lbs). Vasquez contemplated going pro last year, but made the right decision to come back and improve on his game. This year, the ACC player of the year candidate has averaged 18.7 points and 6.4 assists to be the far and away leader in both categories for the Terps. Besides that, Vasquez has shot 38.7 percent from beyond the arc, which is surprisingly only third on the team. Vasquez is a truly emotional player and constantly feeds off the crowd, something that will be interesting to gauge as Saturday's game progresses.

Boston College 80, Virginia Tech 60...Really E-mail

There is nothing good to say about this one, absolutely nothing. Let's just hope that we don't play like that against Maryland on Saturday. Every team is due for a bad game, and hopefully that will be the last time that Tech (21-6, 8-5 ACC) shows up like that.

Give credit to Boston College (14-13, 5-8 ACC), as the Eagles shot 51% and took advantage of all that Tech gave to them. Joe Trapani, who scored six the first time around against Tech, finished with 17, all in the first half. Even more impressive was his 3-for-5 performance from beyond the arc. The Eagles had a very balanced attack as Rakim Sanders added 15, Corey Raji added 13 and Tyler Roche scored 10.

Conte Forum, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

The Opponent: The last time these two teams met up, I projected a rather easy Hokie victory, and that obviously wasn't the case. Tech struggled with the inferior Eagles, and needed a late Dorenzo Hudson put-back, after a controversial jump ball call, to squeak out a 63-62 win at Cassell Coliseum.

Needless to say, Seth Greenberg will have his squad prepared in what many pundits consider to be a trap game for the Hokies. Sure, Tech can look ahead to Saturday's battle for second place with the Maryland Terrapins, but a loss on Wednesday will make that battle obsolete, as the Hokies would fall two games behind the Terps in the loss column before the game even begins.

 
Hokies Unable to Control Duke's Big Three, Fall to Blue Devils E-mail

The game was there for the taking. The Hokies had a chance to knock off the #6 team in the nation on the road, but couldn't push through. Duke proved too tough of a task for the young Hokies (21-5, 8-4 ACC), as the Blue Devils (23-4, 11-2 ACC) won going away 67-55 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The Hokies got off to the good start that they needed, but unfortunately couldn't hang on to the momentum. With Tech up 14-11 7:30 into the game, the Devils took over with a 23-9 run to take an 11-point lead. Being the resilient bunch that they are, the Hokies clawed their way back into the game with a 6-0 run to end the first half. Still, though, the Blue Devils had a five-point advantage at 35-30, despite making only one two-point basket and shooting 23% overall.
