Chris Clarke had 22 points and 12 rebounds, leading Virginia Tech to an 87-70 victory over Maryland-Baltimore County on Wednesday night.
This is Clarke’s third consecutive game where he played like there was something to prove, and maybe there is.
“Our defense, it still needs work,” Clarke said. “We like to move the ball and find good shots.”
Ball movement has been the key for the Hokies this season but with moving the ball comes turnovers. The Hokies committed 14 turnovers against a UMBC squad who could have pulled the upset if they didn’t turn it over 16 times themselves.
