The Virginia Tech men’s basketball team is off to a fine 3-0 start to its 2022-23 season after topping a competitive William & Mary on Sunday night, 94-77.

The Hokies, hosting their third straight game to start the season, weren’t overly impressive, but the offense clicked. Tech jumped out to a 14-0 lead and never looked back as Hunter Cattoor and Sean Pedulla each scored 22 points.

Cattoor went 7-for-11 from the field, including 6-for-10 from deep, adding three rebounds and three assists.
Pedulla also went 7-for-11 and was 4-for-7 from deep, adding four rebounds and four assists.

Sharpshooter Darius Maddox added 14 points, Grant Basile had 13 points, and the Hokies led by as many as 28 in the easy victory.

William and Mary shot 50 percent for the game and 50 percent from deep, but the Hokies were better, hitting 55.9 percent from the field while going 16-for-32 from deep, while also hitting every free throw they took (12 for 12).

Tech had 14 second chance points and never trailed.

Anders Nelson led the Tribe with a game-high 25 points.

Tech will face Old Dominion on Thursday.
