Virginia Tech Hokies NIT Round Two Preview: BYU

Thanks to heroic efforts from Zach LeDay and Jalen Hudson, the Hokies can thank their lucky stars they escaped with an 86-81 overtime victory against Princeton. In the second round, it gets much, much tougher as the Hokies face BYU in Provo. For BYU (24-10/3-5), the first round probably went as well they could've wanted. The Cougars were able to get a relatively easy 97-79 win over 7 seed UAB, while the Hokies had to expend a lot of energy in their contest as it was a close one that required an extra period. Add in the fact that the game is on the road for Virginia Tech, it likely means they'll need every single energy reserve in this body.
