For a brief moment on Wednesday night, it appeared the Virginia Tech Hokies would lose their second consecutive game to Clemson — in a span of four days — and head to the NIT.
However, sophomore guard Darius Maddox was having none of that, drilling a 3-pointer in overtime as time expired, lifting the Hokies to a 76-75 win over the Tigers in the ACC Tournament.
It appeared as if the Hokies would breeze to victory for much of the game. Tech scored 43 points in the first half and headed into overtime with an 11-point lead.
