Virginia Tech 74, North Carolina 70: What They're Saying
by furrer4heisman on Feb 6, 2010 10:00 AM EST
1 comment
Virginia Tech broke a five-game losing streak against North Carolina with a 74-70 win in Cassell Coliseum Thursday. Despite having five players in foul trouble and being cold from behind the arc, Tech was able to work inside against the Tar Heels for 34 points in the paint in victory.
Malcolm Delaney again led all scorers with 21 points and added five assists. He led a blistering opening for the Hokies as they jumped out to a 12-point lead six and a half minutes into the game. However, that lead evaporated by the break and Tech trailed by two at the half.
It took an outstanding shooting effort in the second half to give Tech the victory. The Hokies made 12 of 25 two-point shots to counter North Carolina shooting over 43 percent for the game. Tech also took care of the ball, turning it over only 10 teams compared to Carolina's 19. Those Carolina turnovers led to 17 points for the Hokies.
To me the biggest story of the game was Jeff Allen. He scored 14 points, grabbed seven rebounds and had four steals. Welcome back, Jeff. I didn't get to see the game because it was on Raycom. What were your observations on Tech's big win over the Tar Heels?

Hokies' 2010 Recruiting Class Fills the Trenches
by furrer4heisman on Feb 5, 2010 5:00 PM EST
0 comments
One of the biggest weaknesses for Virginia Tech football team in the last few years has been depth on the offensive and defensive lines. The Hokies' coaches addressed that issue with their 2010 recruiting class, signing four offensive linemen and five defensive linemen among their 21-member class.
This year's recruiting class isn't about to earn any headlines due to its lack of skill players. The Hokies signed two quarterbacks and a wide receiver, focusing primarily on the offensive line and defense this year. The class was ranked No. 35 by Scout and wasn't among ESPN's Top 25 classes. But Rivals was bullish on Virginia Tech's class, ranking it No. 22, third in the ACC.
