Deron Washington GAME 33 GAME 34 Virginia Tech 54, Illinois 52 March 16, 2007 • Columbus, Ohio Southern Illinois 63, Virginia Tech 48 March 18, 2007 • Columbus, Ohio Despite trailing by as many as 12 points with a little over eight minutes to play, the Virginia Tech men’s basketball team rallied and scored the final 12 points of the game en route to a hard-fought 54-52 victory over Illinois in a first-round NCAA Tournament game at Nationwide Arena. Tech won its first NCAA Tournament game since knocking off Wisconsin-Green Bay in 1996 in a firstround game played at Reunion Arena in Dallas. Tech trailed 52-42 after Illinois’ Brian Randle scored with 4:27 left. But Deron Washington’s 3-pointer with from the corner with 4:18 to go started the Hokies’ game-ending surge. Washington scored eight points in that 12-0 run, including another 3-pointer and a jumper from inside of the free-throw line that he banked off the glass. That jumper gave Tech a 53-52 lead with 45.5 seconds left in the game. The Hokies took a 54-52 lead when A.D. Vassallo make the second of two free-throw attempts with 23.1 seconds to go. Illinois called timeout with 17 seconds left to set up a final attempt, and Randle misfired on a 3-pointer with seven seconds to go. He got the rebound and was fouled by Washington with four ticks left. Randle stepped up to the line and clanked the oneand-one. A wild scramble ensued for the rebound and Coleman Collins tied up Randle in a loose ball situation with under a second remaining. The possession arrow favored the Hokies, who inbounded the ball and ran out the clock for the victory. The 54 points marked the fewest by Tech in an NCAA Tournament game and Tech’s lowest output of the season, and the shooting percentage was the Hokies’ third-worst of the year. The 52 points allowed by Tech were the second-fewest allowed by the Hokies in NCAA Tournament play. Virginia Tech’s NCAA Tournament run came to an end as Southern Illinois used a big run at the end of the first half to take the lead and never trailed again, knocking off the Hokies 63-48 in a second-round game played at Nationwide Arena. The loss marked the end of an incredible season for the Hokies, who finished with a 22-12 overall mark. They fell to 6-8 all time in the NCAA Tournament. The Hokies looked to be in good shape toward making a Sweet 16 appearance midway through the first half. Tech took an 18-15 lead on a 3-pointer by Jamon Gordon with 5:50 left in the half, but Southern Illinois dominated the rest of the half. The Salukis, thanks to some sharp shooting by guard Jamaal Tatum, closed out the half with a 13-2 run to take a 28-20 lead at the break. Tatum drilled three 3-pointers in that run, while the Salukis’ defense held the Hokies at bay with Tech making just one of its final eight shots in the half. Tatum got the Salukis going again in the second half. He opened the half with a 3-pointer that gave SIU an 11-point lead and the Hokies got no closer than seven the rest of the game. Tatum led the Salukis with a game-high 21 points, hitting 7-of-15 from the floor and 6-of-9 from beyond the 3-point arc. Tech struggled to get anything going offensively against an SIU defense that ranked third in the nation in scoring defense (56.3 ppg). Playing in his final collegiate game, Tech guard Gordon paced the Hokies with 16 points and eight rebounds, while junior Deron Washington added 15 and five rebounds. Seniors Zabian Dowdell and Coleman Collins finished with seven and four points, respectively, with Dowdell scoring just one point in the second half. Collins fouled out of his final game with 7:50 remaining. 2006-2007 GAME-BY-GAME Jamon Gordon Illinois (23-12) Player MP FG FT R A PF TP Carter 34 6-12 2-3 5 2 2 15 Randle 28 3-4 1-5 12 2 4 7 Pruitt 20 3-8 0-0 4 0 4 6 Frazier 36 0-5 0-0 7 6 2 0 McBride 32 4-9 2-4 1 1 4 14 Meacham 13 1-2 1-1 0 0 2 4 Brock 17 0-1 2-2 3 1 1 2 Arnold 20 2-4 0-0 2 0 3 4 Team 3 Totals 200 19-45 8-15 37 12 22 52 Virginia Tech (22-11, 10-6) Player MP FG FT R A PF TP Washington 31 5-10 1-2 3 0 4 14 Vassallo 37 3-11 1-2 9 3 3 9 Collins 31 2-4 9-12 3 0 0 13 Dowdell 38 3-9 1-2 2 1 1 8 Gordon 34 2-6 6-9 0 7 3 10 Munson 3 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 Witcher 7 0-1 0-0 2 0 1 0 Sailes 10 0-0 0-1 2 0 0 0 Diakite 9 0-1 0-0 0 0 0 0 Team 1 Totals 200 15-42 18-28 22 11 13 54 Illinois 29 23 — 52 Virginia Tech 21 33 — 54 Halftime: IL 29, VT 21.

THE 2006-2007 SENIORS Markus Sailes A class of accomplishment, a class of distinction. Those terms correctly describe the seniors on the 2006-07 Virginia Tech men’s basketball team. A group that entered into a program that had failed to make the BIG EAST Tournament in the school’s first three seasons in the league, this senior class that finished ninth in the BIG EAST and made its first league tournament appearance in the program’s final season in BIG EAST competition. This class, comprised of Coleman Collins, Zabian Dowdell, Jamon Gordon, Markus Sailes and Chris Tucker, finished fifth in its inaugural season in the Atlantic Coast Conference and made the Hokies’ first postseason appearance since 1996 by advancing to the second round of the NIT. After struggling through a myriad of off-court tragedies in the 2005-06 season, this group rebounded and put together one of the most successful seasons in school history as seniors. This group led the Hokies to a third-place finish in the ACC and helped the team earn its first NCAA Tournament bid in 11 years, advancing to the second round. This group completed their time in Blacksburg with three, 1,000- point scorers, two postseason appearances and college degrees. This group compiled a record of 67-56, recorded three winning seasons and earned two first-round byes in three seasons in ACC Tournament action. Truly a class of achievement!
