Inside HOKIE SPORTS | Vol. 10 No. 4 | March 2018

2 Inside Hokie Sports Chris Clarke is only a junior, but he was a beast down the stretch on Senior Day, as the Virginia Tech men’s basketball team shocked then-No. 5 Duke 64-63 at Carilion Clinic Court on Feb. 26 to close out the home portion of the men’s basketball schedule. Tech’s basketball staff honored seniors Justin Bibbs and Devin Wilson and two managers before the game, but Clarke made the biggest plays in the final 90 seconds. This resounding dunk (see photo) with 1:24 remaining cut the Duke lead to 63-60, and he scored two more baskets, including a stick-back of a Nickeil Alexander- Walker air ball with 4 seconds left that was the game winner. Clarke finished with eight points, while Alexander-Walker added 17 and Bibbs 14 in his final home game, as the Hokies upset the Blue Devils for the second straight year.
