ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE SECOND ROUND: In a game they had to have to preserve their NCAA Tournament chances, the Demon Deacons pulled away from Boston College on Tuesday. The Hokies are in a similar position Wednesday against Wake Forest, and they should do the same. Virginia Tech is a solid 21-win club, but hurts its chances with a last-minute loss to Wake Forest in the regular-season finale after dominating much of the way. Still, the Hokies held Wake star John Collins to 13 points, and they will get their payback in the rematch.
