BLACKSBURG – The Virginia Tech women’s basketball team delivered perhaps its most complete performance of the young season Thursday night in a 96-49 rout of Illinois in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
“So much energy, the kids were playing hard and we did a really good job of taking them out of what they wanted to do,” said Kenny Brooks. “They were playing for each other and as a result we came away with a fantastic win.”
The program now owns three consecutive wins in the competition, extending Tech’s longest streak.
The win gets the Hokies back into the win column, moving their record to 6-2 ahead of Sunday’s New River Valley showdown with Radford.
