As they say, the Hokies are Still Dancin’! There were some moments where it looked like the dominant 1st half of the contest would go to complete waste. The Hokies were favored by 11 and beat that by 3. The Saint Louis Billikens ended up challenging the Hokies in the 2nd half, but Tech started building some defensive momentum again, and scored enough points in the 3rd quarter to start building up a bit of a cushion going into the critical final two minutes. The 40 to 18 “Total Hokie” first half flipped to a 34 to 26 Billiken 2nd, but that first half proved to be a back breaker.
