Sunday night wasn’t as easy as many thought it might be, but in the end, the Hokies pulled out their first ACC road win of the season. Tyrece Radford was the star of the show, going 6-for-7 and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, leading Virginia Tech with 20 points. Keve Aluma, Justyn Mutts, Jalen Cone, and Wabissa Bede all had quiet nights (collectively scoring just 11 points).
However, it was the breakout by freshmen forward David N’Guessan that was the talk after the game. N’Guessman went 5-for-5 and perfect from the free-throw line, scoring 13 points in 14 minutes of action.
