Mark Berman here Saturday in Blacksburg, where the Virginia Tech men's basketball team is tied with Miami 32-32 at halftime.
The Hokies are fortunate to be tied because they have not done a good job of executing their offense.
The Hokies scored the final seven points of the half, though. Zabian Dowdell had only scored four points until the final 63 seconds, when he had a basket and a 3-pointer.
Coleman Collins has played well offensively, scoring 10 points. He picked up his second foul and went to the bench with 2:34 left in the half, less than two minutes after Deron Washington went to the bench with his second foul.
The Hokies have five steals, including three by Dowdell. Miami has nine turnovers
Tech went on an 8-0 run to build a 19-13 lead with 9:21 left, but Miami tied the score at 23.
The Hokies can clinch a first-round bye in the ACC Tournament with a win today.
Miami is shooting 45.8 percent from the field to Tech's 39.4 percent.
The Hokies have three blocks.
Denis Clemente, who is averaging 9.4 points, already has 13 for Miami.
Washington and Jamon Gordon are a combined 2-of-7 from the field. Dowdell is 3-of-7.
