BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Justin Bibbs scored 25 points to carry Virginia Tech to a 99-73 victory over Houston Baptist on Tuesday night.
The hot-shooting Bibbs connected on all seven of his first-half field-goal attempts and scored 16 points for the Hokies (3-1), who were actually in a battle for much of the first 20 minutes. But Bibbs hit 3-pointers to bookend a 10-2 run to end the half and gave the Hokies a 44-38 halftime advantage -- and the lead for good.
Bibbs hit 11 of 13 from the field overall, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range.
