Starling's jumper nudged the lead back to double digits for the Orange at 63-52 with 11:49 to go. But Virginia Tech didn't go away quietly and a 9-0 run late allowed the Hokies to tie the game at 70-70 thanks to a layup by Johnson with 4:42 left.

Hammond's two free throws for a 97-93 edge with 23 seconds left iced the game for the Hokies, who won for the second time in their last five games.
