SYRACUSE, N .Y. -- — Normally a team that lives and dies beyond the arc, Syracuse showed it can play an inside game, too.
The win snapped a three-game winning streak for the Hokies , who entered the game winners of seven of their last eight. Nahiem Alleyne led Virginia Tech with a season-tying-high 20 points. Tyrece Radford had 10. The Hokies leading scorer, Keve Aluma, had just two. The strategy worked to perfection, as did Syracuse's execution on defense. The Orange held the Hokies to 20-of-61 shooting for the game and just 8 of 29 from 3, including 2 of 12 from beyond the arc in the second half.
"Their zone was good today," said Virginia Tech coach Mike Young."It bothered us, we got the ball where we wanted. You've got to put the thing in the basket, there's no great secrets I don't care what kind of defense you're playing against, and we didn't do enough of that today."
