The Virginia Tech Hokies improved to 2-0 on the season with an impressive 77-57 win over Navy in the Veterans Classic from Annapolis on Friday.
The Hokies controlled this from the start, outside of Navy’s quick 2-0 lead, which did not last. Virginia Tech forward Keve Aluma tied the game, then guard Hunter Cattoor knocked down a 3-pointer to give the Hokies a lead they would never relinquish.
Tech would go into halftime with a 45-27 lead.
Considering how well the Midshipmen shot the ball against Virginia, there was some concern they’d make a run in the second half.
