Virginia Tech welcomed a sparse crowd inside Cassell but the student section was packed and when the famous Enter Sandman played over the speakers you could feel the energy and electricity hit the floor as soon as the Hokies won the opening tip.
Chris Clarke was late to shootaround resulting in Buzz Williams making him play off the bench against the Yellow Jackets, which was a result of one of the slowest starts for Tech this season.
Once Clarke got in the game, he was playing with a lot of aggression grabbing five rebounds and dropping seven points, going three-of-four from the free throw line off the bench in the first half.
