The Virginia Tech Hokies rebounded from Wednesday’s disappointing loss to the Boston College Eagles by defeating the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 93-87 on Saturday in South Bend.
It was a back-and-forth affair that looked like Notre Dame would win due to its hot shooting from beyond the arc. The Fighting Irish made 13 of 25 from 3-point range in the first 30 minutes of the game. It looked like the Hokies were going down against a team that had a season-best shooting night against Tech’s defense.
However, Notre Dame would miss its last five shots from 3-point range while Virginia Tech senior forward Grant Basile put his team on his back.
