Virginia Tech upsets No. 3 Villanova in Bubbleville

Who needs football?

The Virginia Tech Hokies improved to 2-0 on the season after Saturday evening’s 81-73 upset win over No. 3 Villanova in “Bubbleville.”

The game, which was originally supposed to be Temple against the Hokies, was put together around 1:45 a.m. Friday morning after both teams were both looking to add another game. Both schools had games canceled due to Temple’s issues with COVID-19.

The first half was full of lead changes, as the Hokies looked every bit of Villanova’s equal on the court. The two teams entered halftime tied at 29.
