Alexander-Walker carries Virginia Tech past The Citadel

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 29 points to lead Virginia Tech to a 132-93 victory over The Citadel on Sunday night.

Alexander-Walker scored 21 first-half points as The Citadel (1-1) had no answer for the 6-foot-5 forward. Coming off a 24-point game in his collegiate debut Friday night against Detroit Mercy, he hit 10 of 16 from the field against the Bulldogs, including three 3-pointers.

The Hokies (2-0) got off to a quick start against an overmatched Bulldogs squad, shredding The Citadel's press at first and then carving up its zone defense. They connected on 15 of their first 20 shots and scored 66 points in the first half after shooting 69.
