Who saw this one coming? I
sure didn’t. Virginia Tech went to Cancun, played their toughest opponent of
the season with Malcolm Delaney on the bench with an injury, and pulled off one
of the top wins of the Seth Greenberg era. Dorenzo Hudson torched Seton Hall for
41 points, which Hudson estimates is his lifetime high, and the Hokies downed
the Hall 103-94 in overtime to go to 12-1 on the season.

A long time ago — just a few weeks back, chronologically, but a much longer
time perceptually — I told someone that I felt the Hokies could be as bad as
13-17 in the regular season this year. As I have confessed in previous articles,
I was really down on the Hokies at one point.

I could still be right about that record, but only because it’s not
mathematically impossible. It is, however, highly unlikely the Hokies are
going to 1-16 the rest of the way, so I think we’re on safe ground here.

That little bit of soul-baring out of the way, let’s get to the topic of this
game. I’m usually able to express myself fairly well with the written word, but
all I find coming to mind in trying to describe this win is one word: WOW. How
do you lose a guy like Delaney, the ACC’s leading scorer, and defeat a very good
Big East team like Seton Hall?
