Hokies Win Third Straight ACC Game, Defeat Pesky Boston College 85-80 In OT

With 3:59 left, Virginia Tech had a commanding 11 point advantage over the Boston College Eagles, who fell to 11-2 at home this season. What should have been a relatively easy win transpired into a nightmare finish for Virginia Tech. Justin Bibbs fouled Jerome Robinson as he was taking a three and Chris Clarke picked up a - let’s call it controversial - technical foul, allowing Robinson to shoot five straight free throws. Ky Bowman added two free throws of his own, in a stretch of a ridiculous 14 straight made shots from the charity stripe for BC, to send the game into overtime.
