After losing to Duke by 12 points at home, Julius Hodge talked about how the team was improving despite being marred in a four~ game losing streak. “We had a lot of positives,” Hodge said. _ ' . “There are Austin still some Johnson things we SportsEditor need to work on, but there were positives.” The positives came through Sunday night when the Pack took care ofGeorgia Tech to snap the losing streak. But no positives could be found after State’s 72—71 loss against Vir- ginia Tech. Simply put, the Hokies are one ofthe worst teams in the conference this season. They carry a 9-6 record despite an out-of—conference schedule that even Herb Sendek would call “easy.” The loss makes the Wolf— pack’s uphill climb to the NCAA Tournament that much RAYBLACKlll/TECHNIIAN steeper.
