The Virginia Tech Hokies badly needed a win heading into Monday night’s Commonwealth Clash in Blacksburg. At 14-11 (6-8), the Hokies lost in Charlottesville last month (65-57) and hosted a Virginia team that had won nine of its previous 10 games.
Things couldn’t have gone any better for Virginia Tech, as the Hokies dominated the Hoos in a 75-41 win.
Things were close for about the first 10 minutes, with the Hokies holding a 16-14 lead with 9:43 remaining after Virginia forward Jordan Minor scored on a layup. The Hokies would score the next 20 points, opening up a 36-16 lead.
