1) VT outrebounded md 32-28. They dominated the glass in the 1st half, but struggled a bit in the 2nd. This was a major focus for VT in their gameplan.
2) Coleman Collins 11 points and 14 boards and 3 blocks.
3) VT only had 1 point in the final 6:24 of regulation (take a knee offense never works – how many leads do we have to almost blow to realize this?)
4) Brick City: VT won despite only shooting 40%; md shot just 36%.
5) Cheick Diakite!!! 4/5 from the floor for 9 points, 3 boards, and 4 blocks!
