Green scores 15 to lead Hokies past Longwood 85-50
BLACKSBURG, Va. — Freshman Erick Green scored 15 points and Jeff Allen added 13 to lead Virginia Tech to an 85-50 win over Longwood on Wednesday.
Green played a career-high 30 minutes in relief of Atlantic Coast Conference scoring leader Malcolm Delaney, who sprained his left ankle just over a minute into the game and did not return.
Virginia Tech (11-1) extended its winning streak to eight games, the Hokies’ longest since they won nine in a row to open the 1995-96 season.
Virginia Tech opened the game on a 19-4 run, holding the Lancers (3-11) without a field goal for nearly nine minutes.
Dana Smith scored 11 points to lead Longwood.
