CORAL GABLES, Fla. Reggie Johnson scored 15 points and Miami defeated Virginia Tech 65-49 Thursday night to follow up Sunday's upset victory over No. 7 Duke. The Hurricanes (15-7, 6-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) built an eight-point halftime lead and outscored Virginia Tech 10-4 in the first 4:22 of the second half. Johnson's layup with 15:38 remaining put the Hurricanes ahead 40-26.

WILLIAMSBURG Second shots? Old Dominion had no need. The Monarchs made so many of their first ones over several key stretches of a 70-51 win over William and Mary on Wednesday. ODU hit its first nine of the game to open a 21-7 lead. The Monarchs hit their last five of the first half, turning a shaky-looking seven-point lead into a 19-point halftime bulge.

By Doug Doughty CHARLOTTESVILLE Virginia men's basketball coach Tony Bennett had no ulterior motives Wednesday night when he decided to rest center Mike Scott for the final 12:41 against Wake Forest. Up to that point, Scott had made all nine of his field-goal attempts, tying a school mark.

ASHLAND Virginia Wesleyan's furious rally came up just short in a 54-51 loss to Randolph-Macon in an ODAC men's basketball game Wednesday night. Despite the loss, the Marlins (18-3, 10-2) remained in first place, percentage points ahead of the Yellow Jackets (18-4, 11-3). The teams split their regular-season games.

Listening to Old Dominion's Blaine Taylor and William and Mary's Tony Shaver talk about the Monarchs' 68-44 win over the Tribe last month, an objective person could ask a reasonable question: Did they watch the same game?

By Earl Holland PRINCESS ANNE, Md. Losing three of their last four games, the Norfolk State Spartans entered Monday night's game against Maryland Eastern Shore with winning on their minds. A victory against the Hawks would end a two-game losing streak and keep Savannah State and Bethune-Cookman at bay in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference standings.

DOVER, Del.

There isn’t much that’s special about Memorial Hall on the Delaware State campus.

It’s dingy, poorly lit and lacks character.

Oh, and the Norfolk State Spartans really despise the place.

FAIRFAX

Old Dominion had a chance, which is more than can be said about most of its recent trips to George Mason.
