The Hokies basketball team is suprising the ACC with their flashy style of play. They came moments away from upsetting #1 ranked Duke in Camden Indoor Stadium on Sunday. The evening concluded for them, however with a shocking, unbelievable twist. After VT's Coleman Collins made a terrific tip in with less than 2 seconds to go the game appeared to be over. Then a lengthy delay ensued with the officials trying to find out how much time was left on the game clock. 1.6 seconds was put on the clock. (If you ask me the Hokies got cheated a bit. Home court favorism)
Duke guard Sean Dockery received a half court pass and heaved a shot just a couple feet from the half court line that sank through the net for the game winner! The Hokies defense was reluctant to get too close in light of drawing a foul to send Duke to the free-throw line. Instead Virginia Tech watched in astonishment with broken hearts. They gave the Blue Devils one heck of a fight though, staying close for most of the game. They trailed by 12 points with 3:30 to go and then took the lead with under 2 seconds. Despite the loss, VT is 5-3 and an explosive, talented group that will have a serious presence in the ACC this year. They'll seek revenge against Duke next time around and the finale maybe completely different.
