2. VT started 10 for 10 from the line with 4 different guys going 2 for 2 or better.  12 for 13 for the 1st half and 34 for 42 for the game (81%).
3. Dowdell had a career high 30 points, 15 from the line.
4. A.D. MIA no more: A.D. had just 8 points total against md and fsu on just 6 shots.  Against miami he had 16 on 8 shots (4 3′s made) and 2 FT’s.
