We have no idea what’s going on with Louisville’s Malik Williams but it can’t be good: after an earlier suspension, coach Mike Pegues didn’t leave him on the bench for the Virginia Tech game: he left him home.
It might not have mattered. Virginia Tech ripped Louisville apart, winning 75-43. It broke a 17-game losing streak to the Cardinals. Only Sydney Curry played well for Louisville, hitting 8-12 and scoring 18. No one else scored more than nine.
For the Hokies, Justyn Mutts had 14 while Keve Aluma and Darius Maddox both had 11. Virginia Tech has now won nine out of its last 10.
