The Virginia Tech Hokies completed the regular season on Saturday with an 82-76 win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in Blacksburg.
The Hokies received bad news ahead of the game when it was revealed that starting center Lynn Kidd would be unavailable to play. Kidd is the third-leading scorer (13.1 PPG) and leading rebounder (6.6 RPG). That meant Mylyjael Poteat would make his first start of the season.
The Hokies were looking to avenge perhaps their most disappointing loss of the season—a 74-66 loss to Notre Dame last month in South Bend, where they controlled a good portion of the game.
