Free throws secure Virginia Tech's comeback win vs. Notre Dame

Backup guard Brandon Rechsteiner converted seven of eight free throws in the final 32 seconds as Virginia Tech rallied for a 65-63 win over Notre Dame Saturday afternoon in South Bend, Ind. Tobi Lawal produced 15 points and 10 rebounds to pace Virginia Tech (11-13, 6-7 Atlantic Coast Conference), which trailed by 11 points with just over 12 minutes to play. Rechsteiner added 12 points stepping in for foul-prone Ben Hammond and Ben Burnham posted 10 points off the bench as the Hokies won their third straight road game. Markus Burton led Notre Dame (10-13, 4-8) with 23 points and three steals but he missed a key four-minute stretch of the second half with an injury above his left eye.
