    Virginia Tech Hokies vs. No. 19/19 Virginia Cavaliers Postgame Notes Jan. 4, 2020 John Paul Jones Arena | Charlottesville, Va. FINAL SCORE: Virginia Tech 39, No. 19/19 Virginia 65 RECORDS AND NOTABLES ● Virginia Tech falls to 10-4 overall and 1-2 in ACC play. ● Tech is now 1-1 on the road in ACC play, with its lone victory coming over Clemson 67-60 in the season opener on Nov. 5. ● Tech trails Virginia in the all-time series 94-56, with the Cavaliers owning the last three meetings. Tech’s last win was a 61-60 overtime victory in Charlottesville in 2018. ● The last time Tech was held to under 40 points was on Feb. 18, 1967 at East Carolina in a 43-33 loss. ● UP NEXT: The Hokies will continue their road stretch as they travel to Syracuse, New York to take on ​ the Orange on Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 9 p.m. ET at the Carrier Dome. TEAM NOTES ● Virginia Tech used the starting lineup of Wabissa Bede, Tyrece Radford, P.J. Horne, Landers Nolley II, and Nahiem Alleyne. After tying a season high of 49 points off the bench, Tech just mustered seven points versus the Cavaliers. ● KEY FIRST HALF RUN: The Hokies struggled to find offense early due to stifling defense from Virginia. ​ Tech fell behind 26-11 late in the first when redshirt freshman Landers Nolley finished off an old-fashioned three-point play followed by a triple from Nolley to cut into the deficit. Nolley scored 15 of Tech’s 17 points in the first half as Virginia entered halftime leading 30-17.
