The Virginia Tech Hokies had an opportunity to begin the season with a 6-0 record and win the Charleston Classic on Sunday. All Tech had to do was get by the host school, the Charleston Cougars.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be as Charleston guard Pat Robinson III nailed a jumper with three seconds remaining Sunday to lift the Cougars to a 77-75 win over the Hokies.
It was a disappointing ending for the Hokies, who trailed 35-30 heading into halftime. Tech struggled offensively in the first half, as senior forward Justyn Mutts was the only consistent player.
