Hokie Notes

Bell Boarding Terrell Bell has picked up the pace in rebounding of late ... In the overtime win against NC State, Bell came off the bench and grabbed six rebounds in 25 minutes of play ... In the win over Georgia Tech, he grabbed a career-high seven rebounds in 16 minutes of action and in the loss at Maryland, he had six rebounds in 11 minutes ... In those three games, he had 19 rebounds in 52 minutes ... He has already more than doubled his freshman year total of 33 rebounds by recording 79 boards so far this season.

Higher Than Last Year Entering tonight’s game, the Hokies are averaging more points and rebounds and are shooting a higher percentage from the floor, three-point range and the free throw line than last season.

Since He Returned Hank Thorns missed three games in December with a sprained right knee ... Since he returned to the line-up at Duke on Jan. 4, he has taken care of the ball, always a virtue for point guards ... In the 14 games since his return, Thorns has 45 assists and just 15 turnovers ... He has 60 assists and 28 turnovers on the season ... He had seven assists and no turnovers combined in the games at #5/5 Duke and at #1/1 Wake Forest and followed the win at WFU with a career-high eight assists and just one turnover in the overtime win at Miami ... The eight assists ties a Virginia Tech team-high this season ... His four steals in the win at #12/13 Clemson set a new season-high for Thorns ... Thorns missed the home Duke game due to illness.

We Love the 90s When Virginia Tech defeated NC State, 91-87 in overtime on Feb. 8, it marked the 10th time under Seth Greenberg that Tech has scored 90-or-more points in a game ... The Hokies are 9-1 in those games ... Tech is 9-0 as an ACC team when scoring 90 points in a game ... Tech is 231-21 all-time when scoring 90-or-more points in a game ... The 91 points is the fourth-highest point total for the Hokies in an ACC game ... The Hokies defeated Miami, 88-83, in overtime in Coral Gables on Jan. 25, which was the team’s previous high this season ... Tech’s all-time high in an ACC game was a 94-88 regulation win against #1 North Carolina on Jan. 13, 2007 in Cassell Coliseum.

What A Comeback! The Hokies recovered from an 18-point second half deficit in its 91-87 overtime victory over NC State on Feb. 8 ... That is the largest deficit overcome by a Tech team since joining the ACC in 2004 and also the largest under Seth Greenberg ... The 14-point halftime deficit was the largest one overcome by an ACC team this season.

A special thanks goes out to webmaster Damian Salas for his research help for Hokie Hoops.

Legendary Names Former Hokie John Wetzel has been named the Virginia Tech ACC Legend for 2009 ... Wetzel led the Hokies to their first post-season tournament, an appearance in the 1966 NIT ... Another former Hokie has been Miami’s ACC Legend this year ... Former Tech, Miami and Clemson head coach Bill Foster will also be honored at the ACC Tournament.

In at the Beginning Virginia Tech usually plays 10 players in every game ... Of the 10 players, all 10 have at least one career start, and all but Terrell Bell have started at least 10 games in their respective careers ... Making this an even more impressive note is that seven of the 10 players are either freshmen or sophomores.

Big Half The Hokies scored 53 points in the first half of the loss to #12/11 Clemson ... That is the most points scored in a half by the Hokies this season and the most by a Hokie team in any half since Tech scored 53 points in the first half against West Florida on Nov. 14, 2006 ... It is the most points scored by a Tech team in a half against Division I competition since also scoring 53 points in the second half against Maryland-Eastern Shore on Nov. 23, 2004.

Big Vs. BC In the win over Boston College, Jeff Allen recorded a new career-high with 30 points ... He followed that with 23 points and 11 rebounds against the Eagles in Chestnut Hill on Jan. 31 ... Allen did not play against BC in the first game last season, but had 13 points and 10 rebounds against the Eagles in Cassell Coliseum last season ... In his three games against BC, Allen is averaging 22.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game.

The Next Group Virginia Tech has signed four players to national letters of intent ... Joining the Hokies for the 2009-10 season will be Manny Atkins, a 6-7, 200 lbs. wing, Ben Boggs, a 6-4, 185 lbs. guard, Erick Green, a 6-2, 180 lbs. guard and Cadarian Raines, a 6-8, 210 lbs. forward.

Wrapping Up the 2nd Duke Game Tech is now 7-35 all-time against Duke ... The Hokies’ bench outscored the Blue Devils’ bench, 13-5 ... Tech held Duke to 31.0 percent from the field in the second half and held Duke’s Gerald Henderson to four points in the second half ... Tech had 13 offensive rebounds in the game ... Tech outscored Duke on second-chance points, 16-4 ... Lewis Witcher made his first start of the season.

Just a Few Side Notes Malcolm Delaney recorded his 200th career assist in the loss to Florida State, the same number A.D. Vassallo reached at Virginia ... Jeff Allen needs 14 rebounds to reach the 500 plateau as a sophomore ... He is averaging 8.1 rebounds per game for his career, 10th-best in school history.

Tech Vs. #1 With the win over Wake Forest, the Hokies are now 3-6 all-time against teams ranked #1 in the AP poll ... The Hokies are 2-2 against #1-ranked teams since joining the ACC ... The Hokies last win versus a #1 team was a 94-88 victory over the Tar Heels in Cassell Coliseum on Jan. 13, 2007 ... The two losses since joining the ACC were on buzzer-beater shots, a 77-75 loss at #1 Duke on Dec. 4, 2005 and a 68-66 loss to #1 UNC in the semifinals of the 2008 ACC Tournament ... Tech is 3-2 against top-ranked teams in conference games, including a 69-56 win over Memphis on Jan. 10, 1983 in Cassell Coliseum when both teams were members of the Metro Conference.

Hokie NotesSince Expansion Since the ACC expanded to include Virginia Tech and Miami in 2004 (and Boston College joined in 2005), the Hokies have the fourth-most conference victories ... Tech is 38-40 in that stretch ... Only North Carolina (62-16), Duke (56-22) and Maryland (39-39) have more wins in that span (As of 3-2-09).

Usually Tight with the Tigers With the Hokies’ win at #12/13 Clemson, Virginia Tech and the Tigers have now met eight times in ACC games ... All eight games have been decided by five-or-fewer points and the average margin of victory has been 2.1 points per game ... One game was decided in overtime and three have been one-point games ... Prior to Tech’s win on Feb. 25, the previous three games in Clemson have been decided by one point, one point in overtime and two points.

A Little Extra The Hokies are 2-1 in overtime games this season ... The Hokies are 9-1 in overtime ACC games and have won their last eight ACC overtime games ... Tech is 9-4 in overtime games under Seth Greenberg and the Hokies are 51-39 all-time in overtime games ... Tech is 24-6 all-time in home overtime games and 24-20 in away OT games.

Scheduling Oddity The Hokies will play basketball games this season on Nov. 14, Dec. 14, Jan. 14 and February 14 ... If the Hokies were to reach the ACC Tournament Semifinals, that game would be played on March 14 .. The same goes with the 21st of each month.

In the Cassell The Hokies have a 479-142 overall record in Cassell Coliseum, good for a .771 winning percentage ... The Hokies are 9-4 in the Cassell this season ... Tech was 14-3 in Cassell Coliseum during the 2007-08 season ... The win over Florida State in 2008 marked the Hokies’ 600th game played in Cassell Coliseum ... Tech was 13-2 in the Cassell last season and 6-2 in ACC games in Cassell a year ago ... Tech was 13-3 in the 2004-05 season and had a 10-7 mark in the 2005-06 season ... Tech defeated Providence, 69-64, on Feb. 23, 2003, for the Hokies’ 400th victory in the building ... Tech defeated Rhode Island, 86-63, on Nov. 20, 2002, in its 500th game in the arena ... Tech is now in its 45th season in Cassell ... The first basketball game was played in the Coliseum on Jan. 3, 1962, with the Hokies routing Alabama, 91-67 ... On Sept. 17, 1977, Tech dedicated the Coliseum in honor of the late Stuart K. Cassell ... Tech has had just one break-even home season and one losing season in Cassell Coliseum.

Custis averaged at least nine rebounds per game in all four of his seasons at Virginia Tech.

Bunches of Boards Virginia Tech grabbed a season-high 52 rebounds in the win over Longwood on Dec. 14 ... That is the most rebounds by a Virginia Tech team under Seth Greenberg and the most in a single game by the Hokies since they grabbed 54 rebounds in an 82-59 victory over Mount St. Mary’s to open the 2001-02 season on Nov. 17, 2001, in Cassell Coliseum.

Hitting the Century Mark In Virginia Tech’s 79-71 victory over Boston College on Jan. 17, Seth Greenberg won his 100th game as head coach of the Hokies ... He currently has a 105-81 overall record in Blacksburg ... He became just the fifth coach in school history to record 100 victories at Tech ... He is five victories away from becoming the second-winningest coach in school history and with the win at Clemson, he passed Howie Shannon for third on the all-time VT coaching wins list ... Greenberg also recorded 100 victories at each of his previous two head coaching jobs, Long Beach State and South Florida ... Charlie Moir is the winningest head coach in Virginia Tech history with a 213-119 all-time record.

Low Shooting Marks In the win over Richmond, the Hokies held the Spiders to 31.1 percent from the floor, including 28.1 percent in the first half ... Richmond entered the game shooting 49.3 percent from the floor for the season ... The 31.1 percent from the field was the second-lowest number for a Virginia Tech opponent this season, trailing only Longwood’s 29.9 percent from the field.

His Winning Ways Seth Greenberg won his 300th game as a collegiate head coach in the Hokies’ 94-62 win over Morgan State in the first round of the 2008 NIT on March 19, 2008 ... He won his 100th game as the head coach of the Hokies against Boston College in Cassell Coliseum on Jan. 17, 2009 ... Greenberg now has a career record of 318-251 (.559) in 19 seasons as a collegiate head coach and is 105-81 (.565) in his six seasons at Virginia Tech.

The Centennial Season This season marks the Centennial Season for Virginia Tech men’s basketball ... On Friday, Jan. 22, 1909, the Hokies played their first-ever game, a 33-26 home win over Emory & Henry, in the “Dutch Barn” ... Tech was 4-2 in that inaugural season, winning the first four games ... Tech was a perfect 10-0 in its second season ... Virginia Tech is 1,278-1,066 all-time in men’s basketball action, for a .546 winning percentage.

We Are the Champions ... Again The Hokies successfully defended their title in the Aeropostale Holiday Festival last week ... Tech won the 2008 event in the same manner as the 2007 tournament, by defeating St. John’s in the finals ... Malcolm Delaney won the Lou Carnesecca Award, presented annually to the tournament MVP and he was joined on the all-tournament team by fellow Hokie A.D. Vassallo, the 2007 Carnesecca Award winner ... Madison Square Garden is quickly becoming a second home to the Hokies ... Since Seth Greenberg took over as the Hokies’ head coach in 2003, Tech has played seven games in “The World’s Most Famous Arena” , recording a 6-1 record.

Malcolm Delaney averages 7.3 free throw attempts per game, third-best in the ACC.

Keeping It Low The Hokies defeated Richmond, 62-48, on Jan. 14 ... That is the fewest points allowed by the Hokies this season, surpassing the 52 points allowed to Columbia in the first round of the 2008 Aeropostale Holiday Festival in Madison Square Garden ... The last time the Hokies allowed less than 50 points in a game was a 75-49 victory over UAB in the second round of the 2008 NIT in Cassell Coliseum ... Tech defeated St. John’s 54-48 in the championship game of the 2007 Aeropostale Holiday Festival ... The last time the Hokies allowed an opponent fewer that 48 points was a 58-46 win over Liberty in Cassell Coliseum on Dec. 19, 2007 ... Tech held opponents to fewer than 50 points eight times in the 2007-08 season.

SWAT! In the loss at Georgia, Cheick Diakite recorded a team-season-high six blocked shots ... That was the most blocked shots for a Hokie since Diakite had a career-high seven blocked shots in the championship game of the 2007 Aeropostale Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 29, 2007 in the win over St. John’s ... He came off the bench with three blocked shots at Duke ... Diakite has 35 blocked shots this season ... He blocked a team-high-tying 41 shots last season ... He has 123 career-blocked shots ... With his three blocked shots in the win over Georgia Tech, he tied Wayne Robinson for fifth place on the school’s all-time blocked shot list and passed him in the loss at Virginia.


Hank Thorns led the Hokies in assists in the 2007-08 season.

All-Time Blocked Shots

Here is a list of the names Cheick Diakite is approaching on the list of all-time leading shot blockers in Virginia Tech history.

Rolan Roberts ................................................... 1675. Cheick Diakite ............................................123 6. Wayne Robinson ............................................. 119

A Bunch of Threes In the loss to Wisconsin, the Hokies hit 11-of-16 three-point field goal attempts ... That is the most threes in a game for the Hokies this season and the most in a single game for a Virginia Tech team since the opening game of the 2006-07 season, when Tech hit 12 three-pointers in the 94-43 win over Coppin State on Nov. 10, 2006 in Cassell Coliseum ... Tech only reached double-figures in three-pointers once last season, when they hit 10 threes in the win over Eastern Washington.

Holding the Opponent Down Virginia Tech has held the opposition to under 40 percent from the floor in nine of the 27 games this season ... Tech opponents have shot better than 45 percent from the field just six times this season and just 19 times in this year and last year combined.

Family Tradition Two Hokie players don’t need any introductions ... J.T. Thompson was joined on the Tech team in December 2007 by his cousin, Dorenzo Hudson ... Hudson and Jeff Allen were teammates at Hargrave Military Academy two years ago, as well.

Taking the Day Off The Hokies have earned a first-round bye in three of the four seasons since joining the league in 2004 ... The only team to better that mark is North Carolina, which has had a bye in all four seasons ... Duke and Boston College have each earned two first-round byes over that stretch .. BC did not join the league until 2005 ... In the 2004-05 season, with 11 teams, there were five teams receiving byes, but Tech was the fourth seed that season.

Upon Further Review The box score from the Virginia Tech at Boston College game on Jan. 31 had one error that has been corrected ... A.D. Vassallo was originally credited for 5-of-7 from the free throw line and J.T. Thompson was listed as 0-of-0 from the line ... In fact, Thompson was 1-of-2 from the line and Vassallo was 4-of-5 from the line ... Thompson has now been credited with one point and Vassallo is now listed correctly as having scored 20 points in the game.

Overtime in the Cassell Virginia Tech is 24-6 all-time in overtime games in Cassell Coliseum.

The State We’re In The win over Longwood on Dec. 14 was the Hokies’ first game of the season against an in-state school ... The game against Longwood was the first-ever between the two schools ... The Hokies have now played 13 schools from the state ... The only other state Division I schools that Tech has not played are Norfolk State and Hampton... Tech played five games against four separate in-state opponents a year ago ... Tech is 413-302 (.578) all-time against schools from Virginia ... Tech holds winning records against 10 of the schools and even records against two others ... Tech will play a total of four regular season games against schools from the Commonwealth ... Tech is 18-12 against schools from Virginia under Seth Greenberg ... Tech is 3-1 against schools from the Commonwealth this season.

Lotsa Boards In the win over Longwood, Jeff Allen recorded one of the best rebounding performances in Virginia Tech history ... Allen grabbed a career-high 21 rebounds in the win, breaking his old mark of 17 rebounds he recorded in the loss to Seton Hall in Puerto Rico ... The 17 rebounds was the most rebounds in a game for a Hokie since Coleman Collins grabbed 18 rebounds in the Hokies’ 67-65 win over #7 Duke on Feb. 17, 2005 in Cassell Coliseum ... The 21 rebounds is the most by a Hokie in a game since Dec. 19, 1986, when Russell Pierre grabbed 22 rebounds against Florida in the Gator Bowl Tournament in Jacksonville ... It is the most rebounds by an ACC player since J.J. Hickson grabbed 23 rebounds against Clemson on Feb. 16, 2008.

Prime Time Arenas In the six seasons since taking over as the head coach of the Hokies, Seth Greenberg has made it a priority to play games in high-profile arenas ... Over that span, the Hokies are a combined 9-6 in NBA arenas ... Tech will play at least three games in NBA arenas this season.

J.T. Thompson

Hokie NotesA Sweeping Statement During the Hokies’ four seasons in the ACC, Tech has swept the season series from league foes six times, including a single-season high three sweeps last year ... In the 2007-08 season, the Hokies swept Virginia, Maryland and Boston College ... The year before, Tech swept North Carolina and Miami and in the Hokies’ inaugural ACC season, 2004-05, Tech swept the Hurricanes ... The 2006-07 sweep over North Carolina was even more impressive, considering the Tar Heels were ranked #1 and #4 in the two games.

Head Coach Seth Greenberg

hokiesports.com

Now in his sixth season at Virginia Tech, Seth Greenberg has established himself as a man whose attention to detail and passion for the game has built the Hokies into a force in the always-tough Atlantic Coast Conference. Greenberg is 318-251 (.559) in 19 seasons as a collegiate head coach and is 105-81 (.565) in his six seasons at Virginia Tech. In 2008, he received his second ACC Coach of the Year Award in his first four seasons coaching in the league. His Hokie teams received first-round byes in the ACC Tournament in three-of-the-four years in the league. During his first season, he guided Virginia Tech to new heights in its quest to re-establish its place among collegiate basketball’s elite. In his second season, the team even surpassed the accomplishments of the first year, and Greenberg showed his leadership abilities during a trying 2005-06 season. Greenberg led a team that suffered numerous tragedies and, with his constant guidance, enabled the team to leave off-court problems out of the game and focus on each contest. The Hokies finished the season 14-16 and remained a competitive force in the best conference in the nation, the ACC. Coleman Collins and Zabian Dowdell were named honorable mention All-ACC and Jamon Gordon was named an ACC All-Defensive team selection and one of the top defensive players in college basketball. More importantly, the team grew as people, and those people were there to help one another during the trying times. The challenges the Hokies faced in the 2005-06 season made the accomplishments of the past season even more meaningful. The word “team” aptly describes what Greenberg and his staff have built at Virginia Tech. A proven recruiter, Greenberg has captured the excitement of the ACC move and continues to sign top recruiting classes. Perhaps the biggest influences seen in the program have been the work ethic and attention to details that Greenberg and his staff have instilled. And when speaking of hard work, the principle begins at the top, with Greenberg himself. Long hours of watching film, instructing players and developing the program, along with tirelessly working to promote the program and university, while being involved in the community, have made Greenberg a popular face on the Blacksburg campus and in the “Hokie Nation.”

A 1978 graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson, Greenberg was a four-year letterwinner under head coach Al Lobalbo. His father, the late Ralph Greenberg, played at Long Island University under coaching legend Clair Bee, one of college basketball’s all-time winningest coaches. Greenberg and his wife, Karen, are the parents of three daughters, Paige, 20, Ella, 17, and Jacqueline, 13. He is active in a number of organizations and causes, including the Great American Teach-in, the American Heart Association, Coaches vs. Cancer and the Boys and Girls Club.

In MemoriumAllen Calloway (1983-2009)

On Sunday, Feb. 15, 2009, Virginia Tech lost a beloved and intergral part of our basketball family. Former player Allen Calloway lost his courageous four-year battle with alveolar soft part sarcoma. The 25-year old died at his mother’s home in High Point, N.C., to a heart attack brought on by the cancer. Diagnosed with the disease in the summer of 2005, Calloway never lost his determination to beat the cancer and was steadfast in his desire to not only return to his team, but, more importantly, earn his degree from Virginia Tech. Although the disease only allowed Calloway to play in two games his senior season, he continued his studies and in May 2006, earned his diploma in residential property management. He played 83 games in his Virginia Tech career, averaging 2.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. But he will always be remembered as a good person, great teammate, true friend and a fighter to the end. And that smile. Allen will be greatly missed by all that he touched. Rest in Peace, AC.

The Virginia Tech men’s basketball team will

wear patches on their uniforms with “AC” on

them for the remainder of the season in memory

of Allen Calloway.

Malcolm Delaney hit two free throws with 23.6 seconds remaining, Terrell Bell made a key blocked shot in the waning moments, and the Hokies survived a halfcourt heave that nearly went in at the buzzer, thus enabling them to knock off Gardner-Webb 65-62 in a tougher-than-expected non-conference game.

The Hokies led by as many as 18 in the second half, but the Bulldogs just refused to go away. Gardner-Webb cut that lead down to one, 63-62, on two free throws by Aaron Linn with 24.3 seconds remaining.

Delaney buried two free throws to build the Hokies’ lead back to three, 65-62. A block by Bell and a missed half-court shot secured the victory for the Hokies.

Linn added 13 points, while both Auryn MacMillan and Anton Silver chipped in 12 each. Gardner-Webb shot 36.4 percent from the fl oor, but out-rebounded Tech 44-38.

The Virginia Tech men’s basketball team scored on its fi nal 15 possessions and used some stellar free-throw shooting down the stretch to break away from Elon 76-67.

With the win, the Hokies moved to 4-2 overall on the season. Elon, which was picked to fi nish second in the Southern Conference’s North Division, fell to 1-3.

Elon’s Ola Atoyebi’s basket with 8:46 remaining tied the game at 47. But two possessions later, the Hokies started their game-ending run. Victor Davila’s free throw with 7:48 to go enabled the Hokies to retake the lead for good.

Most of Tech’s points down the stretch came from the free-throw line, as the Hokies hit their fi nal 14 attempts. Elon kept fouling Tech point guard Malcolm

Delaney and the sophomore from Baltimore nailed all 12 of his attempts – all in the fi nal 2:12. For the game, Tech hit 23-of-28 from the stripe, which helped them put Elon away.

The Hokies placed four players in double fi gures, with both A.D. Vassallo and Davila leading the way at 16 points apiece. The point total marked a career high for Davila, the 6-foot-8, 245-pound freshman from Puerto Rico. He came off the bench and hit 7-of-9 from the fl oor and grabbed four rebounds in 22 minutes.

Delaney added 15 points for the Hokies, while Jeff

Allen chipped in 12 points and nine rebounds. Tech out-rebounded Elon 42-27.

Brett James led all scorers with 19 points for the Phoenix. He hit 5-of-13 from the fl oor, including 2-of-5 from beyond the 3-point arc, and he hit 7-of-9 from the free-throw line. But Elon, as a team, struggled from the stripe, missing 11 free throws (21-of-32) – it came into the game shooting just 57.9 percent from the free-throw line.

For the second time this season, the Virginia Tech men’s basketball team lost on a last-second shot, as Wisconsin’s Trevon Hughes hit a short jumper with less than a second remaining to lift the Badgers past the Hokies 74-72 in a non-conference game played as part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.

With the loss, the Hokies fell to 4-3 overall on the season. Wisconsin, ranked No. 22 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches’ poll, moved to 6-1 on the year.

The Hokies trailed by nine, 67-58 with 1:13 remaining, but behind the unconscious shooting of A.D. Vassallo, the Hokies scrambled back.

Vassallo cut Wisconsin’s lead to 70-69 by hitting a 3-pointer with 17.9 seconds to go. Jason Bohannon’s two free throws with 11.6 seconds remaining gave the Badgers a 72-69 lead, but Vassallo struck again, hitting a 3-pointer with seven ticks left to tie the game at 72 – the Hokies’ fi rst tie since the 13:24 mark of the fi rst half.

But Hughes quickly pushed the ball up the court and got to the free-throw line. He lofted a short jumper that hit nothing but net with nine-tenths of a second remaining. With no timeouts, Tech’s halfcourt shot came up short.

The loss off set a huge game by Vassallo, who scored 24 of his career-high 30 points in the second half. His previous career high of 29 came against Wake Forest in January of 2006. Against the Badgers, he hit 12-of-17 from the fl oor, including 6-of-9 from beyond the 3-point arc. Victor Davila added 13 points and three rebounds for the Hokies, while Malcolm Delaney chipped in 12 points. Tech shot 50 percent from the fl oor and hit 11 3-pointers in the game.

Marcus Landry led the Badgers with 18 points, hitting 6-of-7 from the fl oor, including all four of his 3-point attempts. Jon Leuer added 17 points for Wisconsin, while Hughes fi nished with 12 and Bohannon had 11.

Tech set up its fi nal position but missed on a pair of shots late and Jackson grabbed the defensive rebound with 0.5 on the clock.

Jeff Allen had a monster game and the Virginia Tech men’s basketball team used a big run late in the second half to put away Longwood, downing the Lancers 79-57.

With the win, Tech moved to 6-4 overall on the season. Longwood, which saw its two-game winning streak come to an end, fell to 5-5.

Allen dominated the smaller Lancers inside. He scored 19 points, hitting 7-of-11 from the fl oor and 5-of-9 from the free-throw line, and he grabbed a career-high 21 rebounds. He surpassed his previous career high of 17 rebounds, which he recorded in the Seton Hall game at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off in San Juan earlier this season.

Despite Allen’s presence, the Lancers managed to stay in the game, and they sliced Tech’s 16-point halftime lead to fi ve, 52-47, on a free throw by Dana Smith with 11:38 remaining.

But the Hokies controlled the game after that. Keyed by A.D. Vassallo, Tech went on a 20-3 run over the next eight minutes to put the game away. The senior from Toa Baja, Puerto Rico scored 11 of those 20 points in that run and fi nished with a game-high 21. He hit 7-of-12 from the fl oor, including 3-of-4 from beyond the 3-point arc. He also drained all four of his free-throw attempts and added nine rebounds.

Both Malcolm Delaney and Terrell Bell fi nished with 12 points each. Bell’s 12-point eff ort was the sophomore’s career high, surpassing the nine points he scored against Duke back in January.

The Lancers stayed in the game largely because of the Hokies’ turnovers. Tech committed a season-high 23 turnovers, including six by Allen and four by reserve point guard Hank Thorns.

Smith led the Lancers with 13 points, while Antwan Carter added 10. Longwood shot just 29.9 percent from the fl oor – a season low for a Tech opponent.

Virginia Tech ended the fi rst half on a 15-2 run and never trailed following intermission en route to a 64-52 victory against Columbia in the opening game of the 2008 Aeropostale Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden.

The Hokies, now 7-4 overall, trailed early in the fi rst half, but scored 15 of the last 17 points of the fi rst period and took a 28-20 lead into the half. Columbia, now 3-6 overall, was able to keep the game within a workable margin during the second half, but could not make a signifi cant run at the Hokies.

Malcolm Delaney led the Hokies with 25 points, including 15 points in the fi rst half. He also grabbed a career-high nine rebounds and had four assists. A.D. Vassallo scored 16 points, 13 points coming after the intermission. He also grabbed nine rebounds and handed out four assists. Jeff Allen was the third Hokie in double fi gures, with 13 points and three blocked shots. Joe Bova scored 13 points and Jason Miller had 12 points off the bench to lead the Lions.

The Hokies saw the return of sophomore forward J.T. Thompson, who had missed the fi rst nine games of the season following surgery on Nov. 14 to correct a hernia. He also missed the last game due to a sprain in his left foot. Tech played the game without back-up point guard Hank Thorns, who suff ered a fi rst-degree sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee in practice on Wednesday.

Tech held Columbia to just 35.6 percent from the fi eld and out rebounded the Lions, 43-32. Tech also registered seven blocked shots in the contest. The Hokies also outscored Columbia, 13-8, on second-chance points.

Virginia Tech used a strong second half performance to claim an 81-67 win over St. John’s to successfully defend their title in the 2008 Aeropostale Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden.

The Hokies, now 8-4 overall, took a 39-35 lead into the intermission, but used a balanced attack to outscore the Red Storm, 42-32 in the second half. St. John’s, now 9-2 on the season, was able to keep the game close in the early stages of the second half, but the 1-3-1 zone and the clutch shooting of Tech’s backcourt helped the Hokies secure the win.

Malcolm Delaney won the Lou Carnesecca Award, given annually to the tournament Most Valuable Player. He was joined on the all-tournament team by teammate A.D. Vassallo.

Vassallo scored 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Hokies and Delaney added 22 points, along with a career-high fi ve steals and a career-high-tying eight assists in the victory. Jeff Allen recorded his fourth double-double of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds. J.T. Thompson, making just his second appearance of the season, grabbed 10 rebounds in just 18 minutes of action.

Tech used a 10-0 run off of off ensive rebounds and three-point baskets to take control midway through the second half. Vassallo and Delaney each had a three-pointer in the run that made it 57-45 with 13:50 to play. One of those threes and the other two fi eld goals in the spurt came after the Hokies grabbed an off ensive rebound. The Hokies fi nished with a 42-34 advantage on the boards.

Paris Horne had 14 points for the Red Storm, who had a seven-game winning streak snapped. Sean Evans and D.J. Kennedy each added 13 points for SJU and Rob Thomas added 12 points.

Two Duke scoring spurts, one in each half, turned out to be Virginia Tech’s undoing, as the Hokies fell to the No. 5 Blue Devils 69-44 at Cameron Indoor Stadium in the ACC opener for both teams. With the loss, Tech fell to 9-5 overall on the season, 0-1 in the ACC. Duke moved to 12-1 overall, 1-0 in the league.

The Hokies fell behind 11-0 right from the tip, misfi ring on their fi rst eight shots from the fl oor and didn’t hit their fi rst fi eld goal until the 13:30 mark of the fi rst half.

Tech gradually cut the Duke lead to eight at the break (39-31) and to four when Cheick Diakite’s basket made the score 39-35 with 17:30 remaining in the game.

But the Blue Devils outscored the Hokies 30-9 the rest of the game. Tech hit just four fi eld goals and scored just 13 points in the second half.

Overall, the Hokies hit just 36.7 percent from the fl oor (second lowest of the season), including 1-of-9 from beyond the arc in what marked their smallest scoring output of the season.

Malcolm Delaney led the Hokies with 12 points, hitting 6-of-12 from the fl oor. He was the lone Hokie in double fi gures.

Jeff Allen scored nine points, but turned the ball over six times – part of an 18-turnover night for the Hokies. Diakite had a nice game off the bench, scoring eight points and hitting 4-of-6 from the fl oor. He also grabbed fi ve boards and blocked three shots.

A.D. Vassallo, the ACC’s second-leading scoring coming into this game at 19 points per game, scored just seven points, hitting 3-of-9 from the fl oor and seeing his streak of double-fi gure scoring games snapped at nine.

Duke placed four players in double fi gures, led by Singler’s 19 points. The Blue Devils hit only 40.7 percent of their shots, but they out-rebounded the Hokies (38-28).

A.D. Vassallo scored 14 of Virginia Tech’s fi nal 17 points en route to a 29-point performance to lift the Hokies past in-state rival Virginia 78-75 at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg.

The win marked Tech’s third straight over the Cavaliers and moved the Hokies to 10-5 overall on the season, 1-1 in the ACC.

Tech appeared to have this game under control taking a 64-49 lead on Vassallo’s 3-point play with 5:23 remaining, but the Cavaliers used a barrage of 3-pointers from Mustapha Farrakhan to climb back in the game. Farrakhan hit four 3-pointers in the fi nal 4:40 and was fouled on another 3-pointer, converting all three free throws.

Virginia cut the Tech lead to 72-70 with 49.7 seconds left, Vassallo would nail a short jumper with 19 seconds on the game clock to give the Hokies a 74-70 lead.

UVa cut the Tech lead to two with 10 ticks remaining, but Vassallo drained two free throws with nine seconds to go. A UVa 3-pointer with 2.6 seconds left to cut the Hokie lead to 76-75, but Vassallo nailed two more free three throws with 1.9 seconds remaining to make it 78-75. UVa attempted a three-quarters length shot at the buzzer that came up short, and the Hokies prevailed.

Vassallo fi nished with 29 points, just one short of his career high. He hit 9-of-14 from the fl oor and 10-of-12 from the free-throw line.

The Hokies also got 24 points from Malcolm Delaney, who hit 10-of-17 from the fl oor, including three 3-pointers. As a team, Tech hit 44.4 percent from the fl oor.

Landesberg led the Cavaliers with 20 points, hitting 7-of-11 from the fl oor and all six of his free-throw attempts. He also grabbed eight boards and dished out fi ve assists, but turned the ball over six times. UVa, as a team, turned it over 17 times. Farrakhan had a career-high 17 points.

Jeff Allen had a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds and Virginia Tech’s defense held the Richmond Spiders to their lowest scoring output of the season en route to a 62-48 non-conference win at Cassell Coliseum.

With the victory, the Hokies moved to 11-5 overall on the season, winning for the sixth time in their past seven games and improving to 6-1 at Cassell this season. Tech also avenged last season’s 52-49 loss to the Spiders; a loss that played a role in the Hokies not receiving an at-large NCAA Tournament bid.

Richmond fell to 9-7 overall on the season, losing for just the second time in six games.

This year, the game wasn’t in doubt, as the Hokies jumped out to a 7-0 lead and then used a 15-0 run midway through the fi rst half to take a 24-6 lead with just under seven minutes remaining. Richmond, which didn’t score until freshman Josh Duinker hit a 3-pointer with 14:16 left in the half, missed its fi rst seven shots from the fl oor and 19 of their fi rst 21. The Spiders trailed by as many as 22 in the fi rst half and by 20 at halftime.

For the game, Richmond shot just 31.1 percent from the fl oor – the second lowest by a Tech opponent this season (29.9 percent, Longwood). The Spiders came into the contest ranked 13th nationally in fi eld-goal percentage at 49.3 percent.

Tech, which out-rebounded the Spiders 48-30 and shot 45.1 percent from the fl oor itself, got a game-high 12 points from Malcolm Delaney and 10 from J.T. Thompson, who also grabbed eight rebounds. The Hokies’ leading scorer – A.D. Vassallo at 18 per game – scored just six points and spent a major portion of the game on the bench in foul trouble.

Kevin Anderson led the Spiders with 11 points. David Gonzalvez scored just nine after coming into the game leading the Spiders with a 16.5 per game average. A lot of the credit there goes to Thompson, who drew the defensive assignment on Gonzalvez.

Jeff Allen scored a career-high 30 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Virginia Tech held Boston College to just one fi eld goal in the fi nal three minutes to pull away from the Eagles 79-71 in an Atlantic Coast Conference game at Cassell Coliseum.

The win – the Hokies’ fourth straight over Boston College – marked Tech’s third straight overall and its seventh in the past eight games. Tech moved to 12-5 overall on the season, 2-1 in the ACC. It also gave Tech head coach Seth Greenberg his 100th victory as the Hokies’ head coach.

BC fell to 13-6 overall, 1-3 in the league and lost for the fourth straight time since knocking off then-No. 1 North Carolina 85-78 in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Jan. 4.

Allen scored 17 of his points in the second half and hit 11-of-16 from the fl oor.

BC tied the game at 54 in the second half on two free throws by Joe Trapani with under 13 minutes to play, but the Eagles never recaptured the lead. Tech gradually built its lead back to as much as fi ve, but Trapani’s 3-pointer later cut the Hokie lead to 70-68 with 3:07 left.

The Hokies, though, hit 9-of-13 free throws in the fi nal minute to pull away, with Malcolm Delaney hitting 5-of-6 from the stripe. BC’s only points in the fi nal three minutes came when Tyrese Rice hit a 3-pointer with 16.8 seconds to go to cut the Tech lead to 77-71. Delaney’s two free throws with 16 seconds left provided the fi nal margin.

Tech’s defense in the fi nal three minutes may have been the diff erence. BC hit just one of its fi nal seven shots and turned the ball over twice.

As a team, the Hokies shot 49.1 percent from the fl oor and held BC to 40.7 percent. Tech also out-rebounded the Eagles 38-29 and committed just 10 turnovers.

Delaney scored 19 points for the Hokies and A.D. Vassallo added 16.

Trapani fi nished with a career-high 23 for the Eagles. Rice, BC’s leading scorer at 17.5 points per game, scored 19, but hit just 6-of-19 from the fl oor, including 3-of-8 from beyond the 3-point arc.

Virginia Tech’s big three of Malcolm Delaney, A.D. Vassallo and Jeff Allen combined for 53 points and the Hokies got solid contributions from their role players to pull off a stunning 78-71 victory over No. 1 Wake Forest at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

The victory marked Tech’s fi rst over a No. 1-ranked team since 2007 when the Hokies downed North Carolina 94-88 at Cassell Coliseum.

Tech moved to 13-5 overall on the season, 3-1 in the ACC. Wake lost for the fi rst time this season, falling to 16-1 overall, 3-1 in the league.

The Demon Deacons – the last team in the nation to lose a game – had moved to No. 1 in both polls on Monday, but struggled from the outset. Wake got into early foul trouble and led just one time in the game. A combination of terrifi c defense and hot shooting enabled the Hokies to lead by 13 with 6:28 to play after Allen buried a 3-pointer to give Tech a 67-54 lead.

That turned out to be Tech’s last basket of the game. The Demon Deacons scrambled back into it, going on a 17-2 run over the next 4:36 and cutting the lead to 71-69.

But Tech cobbled together enough free throws down the stretch to hold off Wake, hitting 10-of-19 from the stripe in the fi nal 2:50. Wake got no closer than four points after Delaney’s free throws, hitting just one of its fi nal seven shots from the fl oor.

For the game, Tech shot an even 50 percent from the fl oor against Wake, which came into the game ranked second in the nation in fi eld-goal percentage defense (36.2). Delaney led the way for Tech with 21 points while Vassallo added 16 points and Allen also scored 16 points, hitting 6-of-10 from the fl oor.

In addition, Cheick Diakite scored eight points and grabbed fi ve rebounds in 22 minutes, J.T. Thompson scored six points and Hank Thorns scored four points and dished out four assists in 21 minutes – and did not commit a turnover.

Jeff Teague led Wake with 23 points. James Johnson added 18 and Williams fi nished with 12.

For the game, Wake shot 43.1 percent from the fl oor after averaging 51.1 percent shooting for the season.

BLACKSBURG, VA.

Clemson used an 18-0 second-half run to overcome a career night from Tech’s Malcolm Delaney to claim an 86-82 ACC victory over the Hokies at Cassell Coliseum.

The loss snapped the Hokies’ fi ve-game winning streak and left Tech at 14-6 overall, 4-2 in the ACC. The Tigers won their second straight game, moving to 18-2 overall, 4-2 in the league.

Tech led 63-48 with 16:39 remaining and appeared to be in control of the game, but the Tigers stormed back.

A switch to a half-court trapping defense propelled the Tigers on that 18-0 run and they took a 66-63 lead on with 10:18 left. The Hokies didn’t score a fi eld goal again until Hank Thorns’ lay-up with 7:50 to go. Tech went without a bucket for nearly nine minutes.

As expected, the game was close at the end. With the score tied at 80, Clemson’s David Potter made arguably the shot of the game when he drained a 3-pointer with 1:23 remaining to give the Tigers a three-point lead. Tech cut the lead to one, but Rivers scored with 48.4 seconds to go to give the Tigers an 85-82 lead.

Tech missfi red on its next possession and Clemson got the rebound. Tech fouled Potter with 27 seconds left. Potter made put the TIgers up 86-82 and Tech wasn’t able to cut into the lead any more.

The sour ending overshadowed a career night for Delaney. The sophomore from Baltimore, Md., scored 37 points, hitting 11-of-17 from the fl oor, including 6-of-10 from beyond the 3-point arc. He also drained 9-of-10 from the free-throw line. The points, fi eld goals, and 3-pointers all were career highs for Delaney.

Rivers led Clemson’s comeback, scoring 15 of his 29 points in the second half. For the game, he hit 10-of-17 from the fl oor, including 7-of-10 from beyond the 3-point arc. As a team, Clemson drained 14 3-pointers – the most allowed by the Hokies this season – and shot 56 percent from beyond the arc for the game.

Jeff Allen added 13 points and nine boards for the Hokies, who shot 50.8 percent from the fl oor, but got out rebounded 39-35 and committed 14 turnovers. A.D. Vassallo fi nished with 10.

Clemson got a double-double from Booker, who scored 21 points and grabbed 13 boards.

Virginia Tech’s A.D. Vassallo scored all 20 of his points in the second half, but Rakim Sanders’ stick-back with four-tenths of a second remaining turned out the be the diff erence as Boston College downed the Hokies 67-66 in a hard-fought ACC game played at Conte Forum.

The loss marked Tech’s second straight and dropped the Hokies to 14-7 overall, 4-3 in the ACC. BC won its fourth straight and moved to 17-6 overall 5-3 in the league.

Trailing by one, 65-64, Vassallo drove hard to the basket and was fouled by BC guard Corey Raji. Vassallo hit both free throws with 14.5 seconds left to give Tech a 66-65 lead.

The Eagles then brought the ball down. Tyrese Rice took an off -balance shot, but Sanders got the rebound and scored, giving the Eagles a 67-66 lead.

Tech had one last gasp, but Jeff Allen’s length-of-the-court pass was defl ected out of bounds as the buzzer sounded.

Vassallo hit 7-of-14 from the fl oor, including 2-of-5 from beyond the 3-point arc, and he hit 4-of-5 from the free-throw line. He did not get the start in this one – Greenberg cited it as a “coaches decision.” He sat the fi rst 7:35 of the game before entering the contest at the 12:25 mark.

In the fi rst half, Tech struggled to get going missing 14 of its fi rst 18 shots. The Hokies trailed by as many as seven in the fi rst 20 minutes, but they tightened their defense, forcing the Eagles to miss their fi nal eight shots from the fl oor, and an 8-2 run at the end of the half got Tech to within two, 23-21, at the break.

Jeff Allen notched a double-double to lead the Hokies. He scored 23 points on 7-of-16 shooting from the fl oor and grabbed 11 rebounds for his sixth double-double of the season and the 16th of his career. Malcolm Delaney scored 18 points, hitting 7-of-14 from the fl oor, and he dished out fi ve assists.

As a team, Tech shot just 40 percent from the fl oor and got out-rebounded 35-32 for the game.

BC got 16 points from Rice, who hit just 6-of-18. Joe Trapani added 13 points, while Sanders fi nished with 12 and Tyler Roche had 10. The Eagles shot 42.9 percent from the fl oor.

A.D. Vassallo drained four free throws in the fi nal 16.4 seconds of overtime, and Virginia Tech rallied from an 18-point, second-half defi cit to knock off N.C. State 91-87 in overtime in an ACC game played at Cassell Coliseum.

With the victory, the Hokies put an end to their six-game losing streak to the Wolfpack. Tech, which moved to 9-1 in ACC overtime games, snapped a two-game losing streak and moved to 15-7 overall on the season, 5-3 in the ACC.

The game marked Tech’s biggest comeback in an ACC game since joining the league in 2004.

Tech trailed by as many as 18 in the second half, but used its defense in the fi nal 10 minutes to rally to tie the game at 76. The Hokies held the Wolfpack to just one fi eld goal – and 10 total points, all by Ben McCauley – the fi nal 9:51 of the second half and closed regulation with a 21-10 run. Tech tied the game with 17.9 seconds left on a short jumper by Vassallo over N.C. State’s Courtney Fells.

N.C. State (12-9, 2-6 in the ACC) called a timeout to set up a fi nal play in regulation, but McCauley lost the ball trying to go up for a contested shot in the post and Jeff Allen came up with the ball after a wild scramble. Tech then called timeout with four-tenths of a second left, but turned the ball over and that sent the game into overtime.

In overtime, Vassallo and Terrell Bell hit baskets on back-to-back possessions to enable Tech to open a four-point lead and the Hokies never looked back. Vassallo hit two free throws with 16.4 seconds left to give Tech an 89-84 lead. N.C. State’s Javier Gonzalez cut the lead to two, 89-87, for the Wolfpack with a 3-pointer with 11 seconds to go, but Vassallo hit two more free throws with 8.7 seconds left to give Tech a four-point lead and ultimately the win.

Vassallo fi nished with a team-high 24 points – 16 in the second half – and hit 10-of-17 from the fl oor. The Hokies, as a team, hit 19 of their fi nal 34 attempts from the fl oor and shot 47.1 percent for the game.

Allen added 21 points and eight boards for the Hokies and Malcolm Delaney fi nished with 18. J.T. Thompson scored 12 off the bench.

McCauley led all scorers with a game-high 25 points and 15 rebounds for the Wolfpack, who also placed four players in double fi gures. Fells added 17.

Malcolm Delaney scored 13 of his 23 points in the fi nal eight minutes, the smaller Virginia Tech team out-rebounded Georgia Tech, and a defensive change by Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg midway through the second half all proved pivotal as the Hokies won their second straight game, knocking off Georgia Tech 76-71 in an ACC game played at Cassell Coliseum.

With the win, the Hokies moved to 16-7 overall, 6-3 in the ACC. The Yellow Jackets, who have lost three straight and eight of nine, fell to 10-13, 1-9 in the ACC.

The Hokies never trailed in this one, using an 11-2 run to end the fi rst half and take a 41-31 lead at the break, but the Yellow Jackets’ press enabled them to cut into the lead to three with 9:26 remaining. At that point, Greenberg switched from his traditional man-to-man defense to a 2-3 zone. The Hokies responded by holding Georgia Tech without a basket for nearly a fi ve-minute stretch, which enabled the Hokies to grab a 65-54 lead with 5:27 remaining.

Georgia Tech cut the lead to three points twice in the fi nal 1:22, but two free throws each by Delaney and Hank Thorns in the fi nal 1:12 sealed things for the Hokies.

The Hokies out-rebounded the bigger Georgia Tech squad 43-40, including a 16-11 advantage on the off ensive glass. The Yellow Jackets went into the contest out-rebounding opponents by a margin of 5.7 per game, but the Hokies’ Jeff Allen grabbed nine boards and both Cheick Diakite and Terrell Bell each fi nished with seven.

Delaney ended up with 23 and scored 13 of the Hokies’ fi nal 21 points. He hit 14-of-15 from the stripe, including all 11 attempts in the fi nal eight minutes.

A.D. Vassallo added 18 points and Allen fi nished with 15 points. Diakite gave the Hokies a huge boost by scoring a career-high 10 points.The game marked his fi rst double-fi gure scoring game of his career.

Gani Lawal led the Yellow Jackets with 23 points and grabbed a team-high eight rebounds. Alade Aminu added 13 points and seven rebounds, while Zachery Peacock scored 12 and Shumpert fi nished with 11.

The Yellow Jackets, plagued by poor shooting all season, hit just 39.7 percent from the fl oor and made just four of 18 3-point attempts.

Despite getting another solid game from standout forward A.D. Vassallo, Virginia Tech couldn’t overcome a rested Maryland squad, falling to the Terrapins 83-73 in an ACC game played at the Comcast Center

The loss snapped the Hokies’ two-game winning streak and their three-game winning streak over Maryland. Tech fell to 16-8 overall on the season, 6-4 in the league. Maryland – playing its fi rst game in six days – won its second straight and third in the past four games, moving to 16-8 overall, 5-5 in the ACC.

Maryland built an 11-point lead following a Greivis Vasquez 3-pointer with 16:16 left. The Hokies cut the lead to 48-45, but Maryland’s Eric Hayes answered with a trey with 11:33 remaining to build the lead back to six. Following a Tech turnover, Maryland’s Landon Milbourne converted on a three-point play with 10:57 left that pushed the lead back to nine.

Maryland gradually built the lead to as many as 13. Tech got no closer than six points the rest of the game.

The Hokies got off to a slow start and never led. Fortunately, Tech got some great play from its bench to stay in the game. The Hokies got 12 points from their bench in the fi rst half, led by Lewis Witcher’s eight on 4-of-4 shooting, and only trailed 34-29 at the break. Witcher scored more points in the fi rst half than he had in any game this season.

Witcher fi nished with eight points, just three short of his career high. He spearheaded the Hokies’ bench, which fi nished with 25 points and 12 rebounds for the game.

Vassallo scored more than 20 points for the third time in the past four games, fi nishing with exactly 20 points on 6-of-13 shooting from the fl oor. Malcolm Delaney, fi nished with 16 points on 6-of-15 from the fl oor. He extended his streak of scoring in double fi gures to 29 straight games.

Also, Jeff Allen, the Hokies’ third-leading scorer, fi nished with just eight points before fouling out with 3:15 remaining.

Milbourne paced the Terrapins with 23 points. Vasquez added 17 points before he fouled out with 2:33 left. As a team, Maryland shot 48.1 percent from the fl oor and hit 7-of-18 from beyond the 3-point arc.

Virginia runs at the end of the fi rst half and the beginning of the second half, and a cold shooting evening turned out to be Virginia Tech’s undoing, as the Hokies fell to the Cavaliers 75-61 in an ACC game played Wednesday night at John Paul Jones Arena.

The loss marked Tech’s second straight and snapped the Hokies’ three-game winning streak against UVa. Tech fell to 16-9 overall, 6-5 in the ACC. UVa moved to 9-13, 3-8 in the league.

A big UVa run to end the fi rst half enabled the Cavaliers to take command of the game. Tech had tied the game at 29 on two free throws by A.D. Vassallo with 3:45 to go, but the Cavaliers went on a 10-0 run to end the half and take a 10-point lead into the locker room. The Hokies turned the ball over three times and missed four shots on their fi nal seven possessions in the fi rst half.

In the second half, the Cavaliers jumped out to a 17-point lead thanks to a 13-6 run that opened the half. Sylven Landesberg’s basket with 12:15 remaining gave UVa a 52-35 lead – its biggest of the game to that point.

Tech managed to cut the lead to eight, 67-59 on a 3-pointer by Terrell Bell with 2:37 remaining, but the Hokies hit just one shot the rest of the game. UVa scored on fi ve straight possessions after that Tech run, hitting 6-of-8 from the free-throw line in that stretch to put the game away.

Vassallo paced the Hokies, scoring 21 points, grabbing eight rebounds and blocking three shots – tying his career high. Malcolm Delaney added 11 points for the Hokies, but hit just 3-of-13 from the fl oor and he went 0-for-5 from beyond the 3-point arc.

As a team, the Hokies hit just 36.7 percent from the fl oor – tying for their worst percentage in an ACC game this season.

The Cavaliers got 19 points from Landesberg, who also contributed nine rebounds and six assists. Jamil Tucker scored 13 off the bench, while Calvin Baker added 10. The Cavaliers shot 43.9 percent from the fl oor and hit seven 3-pointers.

FEB. 25, 2009 • 7:30 P.M. CLEMSON, S.C.

Florida State’s Toney Douglas hit a short jumper with 6.2 seconds remaining and the Seminoles survived a 3-point attempt by Tech’s A.D. Vassallo at the buzzer en route to a 67-65 victory over the Hokies in an ACC game played at Cassell Coliseum.

The heartbreaking loss marked Tech’s third straight and sent the Hokies to 16-10 overall on the season 6-6 in the ACC. Florida State won its second straight game and its fi fth in the past six games. The Seminoles moved to 21-6 overall, 8-4 in the ACC.

The Hokies trailed 65-62 in the fi nal minute, tied the game on Jeff Allen’s put-back with 37.5 seconds to go.

The Seminoles took the lead when Douglas hit a short jumper with 6.2 ticks left. Hank Thorns hit a wide-open Vassallo at the top of the key with a perfect pass, but Vassallo’s 3-pointer at the buzzer was a little strong.

It marked a bitter end for the Hokies, who had rallied from a 14-point fi rst-half defi cit and a 10-point halftime defi cit. Tech made fi ve of its fi rst eight shots of the second half and used a 14-2 run to take its fi rst lead when Malcolm Delaney drained a 3-pointer with 14:15 left in the game.

Delaney came into the game in a bit of a shooting slump, having hit just 16-of-52 from the fl oor the past four games, including 5-of-20 from beyond the 3-point arc. But the sophomore from Baltimore broke out with 25 points, hitting 6-of-12 from the fl oor, including 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. He also drained 8-of-9 from the free-throw line. Delaney extended his streak of scoring in double fi gures to 31 games. He also scored at least 20 points for the 10th time this season.

Vassallo added 15 points for the Hokies, hitting 5-of-12 from the fl oor and 2-of-7 from beyond the arc. Allen fi nished with a double-double, scoring 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. The double-double marked his seventh of the season and the 17th of his career.

Douglas paced the Seminoles, scoring 12 of his 22 points in the second half. Derwin Kitchen scored a career-high 19 points, hitting 8-of-11 from the fl oor and 3-of-3 from beyond the arc.

Tech out-rebounded the bigger Seminoles 33-29, but turned the ball over 16 times.

The Virginia Tech-Clemson basketball series stayed true to form, coming down to the fi nal few possessions. This time around, Tech got two clutch free throws from A.D. Vassallo and played terrifi c defense in the waning seconds to secure an 80-77 victory over the Tigers in an ACC game played at Littlejohn Coliseum.

With the victory, Tech snapped a three-game losing streak overall and a four-game skid to the Tigers. The Hokies, who knocked off their second ranked opponent on the road this season, moved to 17-10 overall, 7-6 in the league. Clemson, ranked 12th in one poll and 13th in another, fell to 22-5, 8-5 in the ACC.

Tech led 78-75 and had the ball when Malcolm Delaney missed a tough shot in the paint with 34 seconds left and Jeff Allen’s follow-up rolled off the rim. The Tigers quickly kicked the ball ahead to Trevor Booker, who made a lay-up with 20.5 seconds remaining to cut the Tech lead to 78-77.

After a timeout, the Hokies got the ball inbounds to Vassallo against Clemson’s pressure. The Tigers’ Demontez Stitt fouled Vassallo with 12.5 seconds remaining, sending him to the free-throw line and Vassallo buried them both to give the Hokies an 80-77 lead.

After Vassallo’s free throws, Clemson pushed the ball up the fl oor and got it into the hands of Terrence Oglesby, but the Hokies, as a unit, played the possession perfectly. Stitt threw up a prayer toward the rim at the buzzer that didn’t come close and Tech walked away with its third ACC road win of the season.

Delaney fi nished with 26 points on 8-of-19 from the fl oor and 4-of-7 from beyond the 3-point arc. He also dished out six assists.

Vassallo added 21 points, hitting 6-of-14 from the fl oor, including 4-of-9 from beyond the arc. As a team, Tech shot only 43.3 percent, but tied a season high with 11 3-pointers. The Hokies hit 11-of-19 from beyond the arc, a 57.9 percentage that easily is their season high.

Oglesby paced Clemson with 22 points. Booker added 21 points and 13 rebounds.

The Tigers shot 42.2 percent for the game, but hit just 36.1 percent in the second half.

Virginia Tech rallied from a 16-point fi rst-half defi cit to tie the game in the second half, but the Hokies couldn’t get over the hump, falling to No. 7 Duke 72-65 in an ACC game at Cassell Coliseum.

The loss marked the Hokies’ third straight to the Blue Devils and Tech’s fourth in the past fi ve games overall. The Hokies fell to 17-11 overall, 7-7 in the ACC. Duke, ranked seventh in the nation in both polls, won for the fourth straight time and improved to 24-5 on the season, 10-4 in the league.

The Hokies got off to a horrible start, hitting just two of their fi rst 13 shots, and trailed by 11 at halftime. But behind the tremendous shooting of A.D. Vassallo, the Hokies came roaring back.

Vassallo scored 15 straight points for the Hokies during a span of 5:04 late in the second half and tied the game at 58 when he drained a 3-pointer with 5:58 left in the game.

Duke’s Kyle Singler drained two free throws with 4:25 remaining to give Duke the lead for good.

Trailing 68-65 with 23.7 seconds remaining Tech fouled Jon Scheyer – the Hokies desperately wanted a traveling call on the play – and he made two free throws with 14.2 ticks to go.

Vassallo fi nished with a double-double, scoring 26 points and grabbing 10 rebounds – his fi rst of the season and the fi fth of his career. He hit 10-of-17 from the fl oor, including 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. It marked the sixth time in the past eight games that the senior has scored at least 20 points.

J.T. Thompson and Jeff Allen each added 13 points. Malcolm Delaney scored just seven points, hitting only 2-of-12 from the fl oor. He saw his string of scoring in double fi gures snapped at 32 consecutive games. Delaney did dish out eight assists and played 40 minutes because the Hokies were without point guard Hank Thorns.

Tech shot 41.1 percent from the fl oor, including 45.2 in the fi nal 20 minutes. But the Hokies were hurt by 19 turnovers – their most in an ACC game this season.
