SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Virginia Tech junior Chris Clarke "was as good as he's been," and never more than at crunch time.
Clarke scored six straight points in the final 23 seconds as Tech fought off a ferocious charge by Notre Dame for an 80-75 Atlantic Coast Conference road victory Saturday night.
Justin Bibbs led the way with 20 points on 8-of-10 field-goal shooting with four 3-pointers, and Clarke added 12 points and a game-high 14 rebounds, as the Hokies (15-6, 4-4) backed up their 11-point victory over No. 10 North Carolina earlier in the week.
