Delaney added six assists for the Hokies (17-10, 7-6 ACC), who avenged a 86-82 loss on the road back on January 29 to the Tigers. A.D. Vassallo ended with 21 points and five rebounds. Hank Thorns tallied 10 points in the win.

Trevor Booker finished with 21 points and 13 boards. Demontez Stitt had 14 points and five helpers, while K.C. Rivers ended with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Trailing 77-72, Oglesby drilled a three-pointer from the top of the arc to cut the gap to two with just over three minutes left. Vassallo hit 1-of-2 from the charity stripe with 1 1/2 minutes remaining to put the visiting team up 78-75.

With less than 30 ticks to play, Delaney missed a short jumper inside the paint. Jeff Allen got the rebound for the Hokies, but couldn't make a layup. Rivers took the rebound and hit a streaking Booker at halfcourt. Booker converted on an easy breakaway layup with 20.5 left to cut the gap to one, 78-77.

Stitt fouled Vassallo on the ensuing Virginia Tech possession with 12.5 seconds to go. Vassallo hit both shots from the line to extend the margin to three. Oglesby took the inbound pass and quickly made his way past midcourt. He dribbled to the left and hit Stitt with a pass. But Stitt was forced to throw up an unsuccessful prayer under heavy pressure from the Virginia Tech defense.

Trailing 5-2 early in the contest, the Tigers used a 12-2 run to take a 14-7 lead with about 16 minutes to go. Rivers tallied five points during the spurt, which was capped off by a Booker layup.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
