Just like in football, the Hokies head up the road to uva and take down the cavaliers, winning 47-45 to pick up Tech’s first ACC win of the season and first win of 2012.  Here are the highlights with commentary from yours truly (minus the pink hat and homemade shirt)…

    Interesting… I saw in your highlights and I’m remembering from yesterday that Jarell Eddie had a sweet block in the game, but he didn’t get credit from it on either ESPN or Hokiesports.com’s box score. Weak.

      Raisin – I noticed the same thing. They gave it to Brown.
