A noticeably exhausted Justin Bibbs had a towel over his head following the Hokies’ double overtime win over #12 Virginia, sitting in his usual spot as the media filed in to talk with the players after the game. Bibbs, who exerted plenty of effort, logging a team high 46 minutes of play Sunday night, had a few words to sum up an instant classic.
“Really tired, but our teammates rallied together.”
That effort and comradery were somewhat lacking during the Hokies’ 1-3 stretch over the last four games. On Sunday night that story flipped. Despite finding themselves down 14 at the half against a Virginia team that limits possessions, the Hokies were able to claw their way back into it.
