The Hokies hosted the No. 15 Clemson Tigers with a significant opportunity to enhance their NCAA tournament resume, especially without facing guard Shelton Mitchell on the other side. Virginia Tech was able to capitalize, securing at least a .500 conference record with three games left. It was a defensive battle throughout the first 20 minutes. Neither team was able to establish a rhythm, and the Hokies failed to get in transition until later in the game. Justin Robinson hit a short jumper as the first half expired to give the Hokies a 26-25 edge into the locker room.
