The Virginia Tech Hokies lost their second consecutive game on Tuesday night, falling to the Boston College Eagles 54-36 in Chestnut Hill. It was VT’s worst performance of the season and began as soon as the game tipped off.
The Hokies were terrible in the first half, as Boston College led 26-11 at intermission. Here’s how ugly it was for the Hokies: 5/25 from the field, including 14 consecutive misses, 1-8 from behind the 3-point line, and 11 turnovers. Four Virginia Tech players had at least two turnovers apiece in a sloppy first half.
Tech came out hot in the second half, though, as senior forward Mylyjael Poteat scored the first points, followed by a 3-pointer from junior Tobi Lawal and a jumper from freshman point guard Ben Hammond.
