CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP)– Malcolm Delaney scored 29 points to lead Virginia Tech to an 88-83 overtime victory over Miami on Sunday.
Delaney’s 3-pointer with 1:49 left in overtime gave the Hokies (14-5, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) the lead for good at 84-83. A.D. Vasallo also scored 28 points.
Vasallo and Dorenzo Hudson each converted two free throws in the final 26 seconds to secure Virginia Tech’s fifth-straight victory.
