H2 1:13 | Virginia Tech 76, Bryant 59

The Hokies are pulling away. 14-for-21 (66.7%) mark inside the arc this frame. 10-for-14 line behind the stripe after a 2-for-8 first half.

H2 2:48 | Virginia Tech 69, Bryant 56

Of note: should Gurdak lead the team in points, it will mark the fifth different player to lead the team in scoring (six, if you count Ben Hammond during the exhibition vs. Duquesne).

H2 2:48 | Virginia Tech 69, Bryant 56

The Hokies are now up by 11. 1-for-6 from the arc, but they've convincingly grabbed the rebounding edge, 34-23.

H2 4:31 | Virginia Tech 65, Bryant 52

Dorn's tossed. Two flagrants. Gurdak's at three fouls, for anyone wondering.

H2 6:23 | Virginia Tech 60, Bryant 52

Avdalas lobs it from behind the arc up to Lawal, who yams it home. Three Hokies in double-figures — Lawal (14), Avdalas (11) and Gurdak (13, career-high).

H2 8:30 | Virginia Tech 56, Bryant 47

Avdalas triple puts the Hokies up nine. Today's hero's a rather unpredictable one: freshman center Christian Gurdak. He has a career-high 13 points in 19 minutes thus far.

H2 11:59 | Virginia Tech 48, Bryant 40

Lawal slam again. This one was a poster on Quincy Allen. The Hokies lead by eight at the U-12 MTO. All but one of their FG attempts has been inside the arc this half.

H2 16:40 | Virginia Tech 38, Bryant 35

The Bulldogs have closed it back to a single-possession game. They're shooting 4-for-17 from the arc (23.5%), The Hokies? 2-for-9 (22.2%).

HALFTIME | Virginia Tech 32, Bryant 24

The Hokies meandered through a difficult opening stretch before eventually knuckling down. Bryant led for over 14 minutes. A Lawal jam put an emphatic close to the half.

H1 1:34 | Virginia Tech 30, Bryant 20

That's an emphatic response. Johnson slams it down and the Hokies now lead by double-digits.

H1 3:25 | Virginia Tech 23, Bryant 20

Schutt pokes the ball away then takes it past the timeline for a jam. The Hokies lead by three and it's a cacophony of cheers.

H1 4:14 | Virginia Tech 21, Bryant 20

Just like that: Tech takes the lead off an Avdalas runner. Of note: Johnson has a game-high five rebounds nearly 3/4 of the way through the first half.

H1 4:20 | Bryant 20, Virginia Tech 19

Avdalas unfurls one from midrange for his first points of the game; Lawal then slithers near the baseline for a jam. Tech now trails by one.

H1 7:14 | Bryant 16, Virginia Tech 15

The Hokies are 2-for-8 from the stripe, struggling to get a consistent offensive effort here. 6-for-18 from the field. Also, Bryant notched a technical, then Bedford clanged front iron on his first FT, made the second.

H1 8:40 | Bryant 16, Virginia Tech 12

Bryant leads after 11-plus minutes of action, mostly off the back of a 5-for-7 mark inside the arc. 11 rebounds, too. All of them defensive.

H1 11:55 | Bryant 9, Virginia Tech 6

Avdalas 0-for-3 from the field through eight minutes of ball. Team is 3-for-10 as a whole. Interestingly, they're 0-for-3 from the charity stripe.

H1 14:18 | Bryant 7, Virginia Tech 6

Johnson gets the second-chance opportunity off a brick from Avdalas; he gets fouled on the attempt and has the chance for a three-point play to tie this contest up at seven.

H1 15:30 | Virginia Tech 4, Bryant 3

Thus far, both teams combined for 3-for-12, 1-for-6 from beyond the arc. The Hokies have tallied all of their points in the paint.

H1 18:00 | Bryant 3, Virginia Tech 2

Goaltending called on Bryant. Bryant using their size and physicality to disrupt the Hokies' fast-paced offense. Sans their guard, every Bulldog is 6-foot-8 or taller.

H1 START | Virginia Tech 0, Bryant 0

Bryant wins the tip and we're underway.

Pre-Game: The Hokies' starting five will consist of Jailen Bedford, Tobi Lawal, Tyler Johnson, Neoklis Avdalas and Antonio Dorn. Forward Amani Hansberry is not listed in the starting lineup; he was sighted earlier in gray sweats and did not participate in the team's warmups.
