Virginia Tech men's basketball takes on Elon today at 2 p.m. ET; read below for a game thread, organized in reverse chronological order.

END OF REGULATION | Virginia Tech 72, Elon 72

A crazy few seconds of play that saw a challenge and two timeouts exhausted in the final four seconds of regulation. Extra basketball in Blacksburg as the Hokies and Elon evened up at 72. Hansberry leads Tech with 20 points, and Isaac Harrell leads the Phoenix with 16. 

H2 0:27 | Virginia Tech 72, Elon 72

Hansberry is up to 20 after he powered a strong finish into the basket. For a non-conference game over winter break, Cassell is rocking.

H2 1:30 | Virginia Tech 70, Elon 70

All tied up in Cassell after Ben Hammond knocked down a crafty mid-range jumper, which Tech head coach Mike Young used to call a timeout to talk over the last 90 seconds of action with his squad.

H2 3:25 | Virginia Tech 67, Elon 66

The Hokies are banking on physicality to get them to the line right now, finding five out of their last 11 points at the stripe. Elon has 26 personal fouls as a team, with two players currently sitting at four fouls.

H2 5:25 | Virginia Tech 63, Elon 62

Tech has its first lead of the afternoon as Hansberry nabs both an offensive rebound and a successful putback layup. Hansberry has put the team on his back in the absence of Neoklis Avdalas and Antonio Dorn. 

H2 7:37 | Elon 58, Virginia Tech 56

Hansberry has four personal fouls, which he’ll have to be careful about, as he has been Tech’s leading scorer against Elon. With 13 rebounds as well, if he fouls out, the Hokies’ comeback chances will slim down. Of note, Tech has 30 rebounds, 16 of which have been offensive for 17 second-chance points. 

H2 12:35 | Elon 53, Virginia Tech 50

Jaden Schutt knocked down back-to-back shots from the distance, bringing the affair back within three points, the closest it's been since 14:55 in the first half. The Hokies are within striking distance. 

H2 15:56 | Elon 48, Virginia Tech 40

The second half has been much slower offensively for both sides as Elon is still holding on to its steady single-digit advantage. Isaac Harrell hasn't missed a shot for the Phoenix, 5-5 with 13 points.

H2 18:05 | Elon 45, Virginia Tech 38

After nearly two minutes without finding the net, Tyler Johnson knocked down the Hokies' first shot of the half, which happened to be the Hokies’ first three-point make of the contest.

HALFTIME | Elon 43, Virginia Tech 35

Elon has missed six of its last seven and the Hokies have closed this one back up to a single-digit games after Pasha tallied a second-chance make after a Gurdak missed FT.

H1 2:02 | Elon 43, Virginia Tech 27

Elon leads by 16, calls time with 2:02 left. They've led for 17:22. The Hokies have not led today.

H1 3:46 | Elon 39, Virginia Tech 22

Elon's shooting splits at the U-4 MTO: 61.5% from field (16/26), 53.8% from deep (7/13). The Hokies: 42.9% from field (9/21), 0% from deep (0/6).

H1 6:40 | Elon 35, Virginia Tech 16

This is bad. Elon leads by 19. They've made 7-of-12 from long range. The Hokies are 8-for-20, 0-for-6 from deep. Solid offense undone by a defense that's getting thwarted by the Phoenix.

H1 8:30 | Elon 25, Virginia Tech 16

Tech is nearly down double-digits; they've clanked all five of their shots from long range. Elon ahead due to a 5-for-10 mark from deep.

H1 13:00 | Elon 15, Virginia Tech 10

Tech is trailing by five after seven minutes. Elon's really dialed up the defensive pressure and is sending a help defender on several occasions to the perimeter. Avdalas' absence is hampering Tech's offensive versatility.

H1 15:50 | Elon 8, Virginia Tech 6

Elon's lead trimmed to two at the U-16 MTO. Hansberry leads Tech with four points.

H1 18:00 | Elon 8, Virginia Tech 2
