The Virginia Tech Hokies' season isn't over yet. In Tuesday night's first round of the NIT in Blacksburg, the Hokies defeated Richmond 74-58 to advance to the second round this weekend.
Both teams started slowly, as the game was scoreless almost three minutes in until Virginia Tech center Lynn Kidd scored on a short jumper. That would be the only bucket until over minutes into the game when Spiders guard Dji Bailey made a layup to tie the game at two apiece.
That would set off a run by Richmond, which scored the following 11 points to take an 11-2 lead.
