BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) Nahiem Alleyne got the start in his second collegiate game and scored 18 points to lead Virginia Tech to a 74-42 victory over Coppin State on Friday.

Coming off a 11-point outing off the bench in his collegiate debut Tuesday in a season-opening win at Clemson, the freshman hit 6 of 8 from the floor, including four 3-pointers. He led a balanced attack for the Hokies (2-0), who gave new head coach Mike Young his first home victory.

Landers Nolley II scored 11 points for Virginia Tech, while Tyrece Radford added 10.

The Hokies blitzed Coppin State (0-1) from the start, building a 27-3 lead in the first 12:15 of the game. They hit four 3-pointers in the first three minutes and hit five overall in their quick start - by four different players.

Coppin State (0-1) suffered through a miserable shooting first half, as the Eagles made just one of their first 20 shots and missed 17 straight at one stretch. They finished with only four made field goals in the first half.

Andrew Robinson led Coppin State with 15 points.
