Hokies Fall Apart: Shocking Collapse in ACC Basketball Opener to Pitt

Toibu Lawal's impressive 16-point performance was not enough to save the Virginia Tech Hokies from a dismal collapse in their ACC basketball opener against Pitt.

The Hokies struggled to find their rhythm down the stretch, scoring a mere three points in the final 5:19 of the game. This poor display of offense was compounded by the team's inability to sink shots, missing their final seven attempts.

The early stages of the game gave Hokie fans hope, with Lawal's scoring prowess leading the charge. However, as the game wore on, the team's momentum began to fade. Despite their best efforts, the Hokies were unable to regain their footing and ultimately fell to Pitt.

This loss serves as a sobering reminder of the challenges the Hokies will face in the highly competitive ACC. If they hope to turn their season around, they will need to work on their consistency and develop a more reliable offense.

For now, the Hokies will have to regroup and refocus ahead of their next match-up. With a bit of luck and some hard work, they may be able to bounce back from this disappointing loss and prove themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the ACC.
