Lined up across the front row of the student section at Virginia Tech's Cassell Coliseum stood a group of orange-masked fans in a sort of homage to the dance crew, the JabbaWockeeZ. By the end of the 84-66 drubbing the Hokies received at the hands of the Baylor Bears, those fans were probably glad they hid their faces.

"Our inability to make a shot early really affected our ability to defend," said Tech coach Seth Greenberg. "We just stopped checking people and the basket got really big for them and they physically overpowered us up front. We got down on ourselves. I feel really bad because the crowd was great. People came and supported us and we kind of let them down."

Florida State's Toney Douglas hit a floater in the lane with 6.2 seconds left to help the 'Noles edge the Hokies 67-65 in a critical late season match up at Cassell Coliseum. The loss has Tech's NCAA tournament hopes slipping even further away.

In the first half, FSU's dribble penetration created open looks from behind the arc and helped fuel a hot start. They hit 4 threes in the first 10 minutes of the ball game and jumped out to a commanding 22-9 lead in front of a home crowd that looked uneasy right from the tip off.

Like so many games in the ACC this year, the matchup between Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech took the entire 40 minutes to decide. Despite never trailing and leading by as many as 10 points, the Hokies needed key stops and late free throws to dispatch the Yellow Jackets 76-71 in Cassell Coliseum.

"I told the guys this was a man's game," Hokies coach Seth Greenberg said. "If you are going to be a man today work on rebounding the ball... you got to step up, throw your neck, stick your nose in the there."
