The Virginia Tech Hokies came into Tuesday night’s game badly needing a win against the Florida State Seminoles. The Hokies had lost three consecutive games and were in danger of falling to three games below .500 in ACC play with another loss.
The ‘Noles also needed a win, having lost three of four going into Tuesday night’s showdown. Fortunately, Virginia Tech pulled away in the second half with a complete team effort, winning 83-75.
It was a back-and-forth game throughout the first half, with both teams shooting well. The Seminoles shot 60.9% from the floor in the first 20 minutes, while the Hokies connected on six of their 11 3-point attempts.
