The Hokies had lost in the first round the past two years under coach Buzz Williams before finally breaking through and earning a second-round matchup against No. 12 seed Liberty in the East Region. Javon Bess scored 14 points and D.J. Foreman added 12 for the Billikens , who lost in their first tournament game since 2014.
They used a 10-0 run early in the first half to open a 13-point lead and didn't slow down. Virginia Tech built a 40-18 lead at the half, forcing 12 turnovers and allowing the Billikens just one 3-pointer on nine attempts.
