For the second straight game, Virginia Tech jumped out to a huge first-half lead and never looked back, dismantling West Florida 95-47 in a non-conference game played Tuesday evening at Cassell Coliseum. With the win, the Hokies moved to 2-0 on the season, scoring more than 90 points for the second straight game.

The Argonauts, a Division II school from Pensacola, Fla., stayed with the Hokies for the first six minutes of the game and only trailed by two, 15-13, after Daniel Alcorn's 3-pointer with 14:14 left in the first half. But the Hokies went on a 9-1 run after that to take a 24-14 lead, and then they closed the first half with a 13-0 run that put them up 53-26 at the break.

The Hokies take a step up on the competition ladder for their next three games as they head to Orlando to play three games in the Old Spice Classic. Tech plays Western Michigan to open the tournament on Thanksgiving night at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN2, and then the following day, takes on the winner of the West Virginia-Montana game. ESPN2 or ESPNU will broadcast that game. The finals and the consolation game will be played on Sunday, Nov. 26th.

Granted this win doesn't mean that much considering the competition.

The ESPN2 game on Thanksgiving night will be some great exposure. Bunch of fat & happy people like me lazing around after gourging on turkey & pumpkin pie. (btw, my test run of turkey in my smoker last week came out awesome )

How good is the Hokies basketball team supposed to be this year?
