The Virginia Tech Hokies moved to 2-0 on the season Thursday with a 78-52 win over the Lehigh Mountain Hawks.
Senior forward Justyn Mutts missed Virginia Tech’s season-opening win over Delaware State Monday due to a silly NCAA suspension. On Thursday, Mutts debuted against Lehigh, scoring 16 points and pulling down 11 boards.
As good as Mutts was, he wasn’t Virginia Tech’s top star in its win over Lehigh. Sophomore point guard Sean Pedulla scored 20 points to lead the Hokies and did not turn the ball over in 33 minutes of play.
Forward Grant Basile, who led the Hokies with 30 points and 10 rebounds in the opener, finished with 11 points and eight rebounds in the win.
