Just four days after what was probably the best Hokies’ performance under Buzz Williams, they turned in their worst performance under his tenure against NC State. It all started on the defensive end. The Wolfpack hit the century mark with a minute and a half left in the second half, which is an embarrassment considering how much Williams emphasizes defense.
Minutes before tip-off, Khadim Sy sustained an injury which meant he was a scratch for tonight, and the Wolfpack made the Hokies pay on the glass and in the paint. Virginia Tech could not stay in front of anyone, allowing double digit dunks, which was a result of a lack of rim protection and effort.
