Virginia Tech basketball: Hokies drop another heartbreaker to Clemson, 51-50

The Virginia Tech Hokies looked like they would snap a six-game losing streak on Saturday night against Clemson. Holding a 50-48 lead, forward Grant Basile made the first of two free throws with 21 seconds remaining. If Basile could knock down his second, the worst the Hokies could do was go to overtime.

As with everything else over the past month, it didn't go the Hokies' way as Basile missed. Clemson had the ball with 21 seconds left, senior forward Hunter Tyson drilled a 3-point shot with 12 seconds remaining, and suddenly the Tigers had a 51-50 lead.
