Virginia Tech basketball: Hokies hold off Boston College for a 76-71 win

The Virginia Tech Hokies won their second consecutive game on Tuesday, defeating the Boston College 76-71 at Cassell Coliseum.

The Hokies began the game red hot, shooting 61% from the field in the first half. Sophomore guard MJ Collins had a strong first half for Tech, as he and senior guard Hunter Cattoor each scored nine points in leading the Hokies to a 44-33 halftime lead.

Boston College wouldn't go away, though. The Eagles had an advantage inside with 7-foot center Quentin Post, who scored 15 points and had seven rebounds. However, it was 6-foot-7 sophomore forward Devin McGlockton who gave Virginia Tech the most trouble.
