“That’s just a disappointing part-- we kind of lose focus and lose our energy and fire and intensity for stretches of the game and it becomes a different complexion. So it’s something that starts with me. I have to find a way to get that energy level up,” said head coach Kenny Brooks.
The Hokies are scheduled to be back at Cassell Coliseum on Thursday to host Notre Dame--their second meeting of the season with the Fighting Irish.
