Dorenzo Hudson, one of three players with 16 points for the Hokies (15-14, 4-10), pulled them to 64-63 with a deep jumper with 1:19 left in overtime.
Mason Plumlee’s free throw with 51.1 seconds left made it a two-point game, and had a hand in Hudson’s face during his jumper that would have tied it.
