It looked like the Virginia Tech Hokies would roll on Saturday night over Pittsburgh. The Hokies started the game red-hot from the field, leading 49-22 at halftime. Tech shot a ridiculous 10 of 13 from 3-point range in the first half.
It felt like the Hokies were would easily win their third straight game, but the Panthers weren’t quite finished, making 14 of their first 19 second-half shots to close VT’s lead to 60-54 with just under eight minutes remaining.
Fortunately, Tech would hold off the surging Panthers to leave the Steel City with a 76-71 victory.
