Coming off the bench for the Hokies was Zach LeDay, someone no thought would play due to an apparent injury. However, LeDay led the Hokies in scoring and rebounds with 20 points and 12 boards.
LeDay wasn’t the only player in double figures as Ahmed Hill had 14, Justin Robinson had 13 and Chris Calrke finished with 12.
“I was nervous, really nervous coming into the game, because I’d never been in Cassell when it was packed before other than an ACC game. It was really exciting,” Hill said.
Hill made his season debut on Friday for the first time since the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament quarterfinals in 2015.
