Dorenzo Hudson collected a loose ball under his basket and scored on a layup in the final seconds, lifting Virginia Tech over Boston College, 63-62, on Saturday.
The ending was wild on the home floor of the Hokies (15-3, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). The clock above the basket showed 9.2 seconds when Hudson scored, but the officials determined it had stopped before he scored and reset it to five seconds.
Reggie Jackson took the inbounds pass for the Eagles (11-9, 2-4), but he never got the final shot off.
Hudson led the Hokies with 18 points, and Malcolm Delaney (Towson Catholic) had 13.
The Hokies trailed 62-61 when they surrounded Biko Paris after he received an inbounds pass with 21 seconds left. With Paris trying to call a timeout, the officials instead called it a jump ball, and the possession arrow gave the Hokies a chance to take the lead back.
They did when Victor Davila lost the ball under the basket, Hudson picked it up and laid it in, apparently with 9.2 seconds to go. But after a timeout, the officials took 4.2 seconds off the clock, giving the Eagles five seconds to get to the other end of the floor and score.
Joe Trapani inbounded it to Jackson, who was near the top of the key when he slipped. The ball skittered away as Delaney fell to the floor, and the Hokies held on.
