Hokies Battle, but Lose in Final Seconds to UNC
Posted Mar 14, 2009
Virginia Tech led almost the entire game, but #1 North Carolina was able to close the game out and win 79-76 in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament on Friday afternoon. The Hokies dropped to 18-14 on the year with the loss, and their likely postseason destination is the NIT. With Ty Lawson not playing for UNC, the Hokies were able to control the pace of the action. A.D. Vassallo led the Hokies with 26 points and 10 rebounds. Malcolm Delaney had 17 points and 10 assists. It was the second straight game in which Delaney has set a career high for assists. He had eight in Thursday's win over Miami.
