A free throw from Justin Robinson gave the Hokies their biggest lead at 70-37 early in the second half.

The Hokies connected on 11-of-14 3-pointers (78.6 percent) in the first half, helping them to a 59-28 advantage. Hill was 5-of-5 from long distance and Bibbs was 3-of-4.

Washington made just 13 of its 38 attempts (34.2 percent). The Huskies led by only 16 seconds before the Hokies' 3-point barrage took over.

Virginia Tech went on a 14-2 run to grab a 32-12 lead with 9:24 left in the half. The Hokies were 4-of-4 from beyond the arc during that span.
