Virginia Tech could not hit the century mark Tuesday night, but they came pretty darn close. The 99 points for Buzz Williams’ side is the highest total the offense has put up since he’s been in Blacksburg.
In the first half, the Hokies simply could not miss. At one point, they were 15/17 (88%) from the field, knocking down 8 of their first 10 three-pointers. The ball movement was crisp, beating nearly every type of defense the Panthers threw at them. This led to a 60-point first half for Virginia Tech, just eight points shy of the school record for most points in a single period.
