Delaney taking control early

Virginia Tech's Malcolm Delaney is in the middle of things already.

Delaney, a freshman guard who averages 8.7 points per game, has scored eight already in the Hokies' quarterfinal game against Miami.

Delaney scored the game's first basket on a jumper, then made a pair of 3s as the Hokies took early control.

And Delaney isn't even Virginia Tech's best freshman: Forward Jeff Allen is an ACC all-rookie team performer. -- David Scott
