Well, so much for NC State owning the Hokies. The Wolfpack ran off six straight wins against Tech at one point since ACC expansion, but the last two games have officially ended that streak. VT has been dominant against State since the 13:33 mark of last year’s game, and the past frustrations of this series are squarely in the rear view mirror.

With 13:33 left in the game last year, Courtney Fells hit a jumper that put NC State up 63-45 in Cassell Coliseum. The Wolfpack were blowing Tech out, yet again. However, the Hokies put on a furious rally and came back and won 91-87 in overtime. The Hokies dominated down the stretch, and they continued their domination in Raleigh last night.

You remember those NC State games of the past, where the Wolfpack couldn’t miss a shot. We’re talking about turnaround, step back three-pointers by power forward Brandon Costner as the shot clock expired. Everything they threw up against Virginia Tech was going in the basket, or at least it seemed that way.

The Hokies were definitely due for a good shooting night against the Wolfpack, and they got it last night. They didn’t miss a single shot for the first 10 minutes of the game, and shot over 50% from the field for the first time this year in an ACC game.
