Seemingly cursed to lose ACC games by single digits but never win them, Georgia Tech finally turned the tables. The Yellow Jackets held off No. 4 Virginia down the stretch to earn their first ACC win of the season, a 68-64 victory at McCamish Pavilion Saturday afternoon.
Tech, which was 0-13 in ACC games decided by seven points or fewer last season, began league play with hard-fought road losses to North Carolina and Pittsburgh. However, with easily its best game of the season, Tech held the Cavaliers to 40.4 shooting and received a huge boost from forward Quinton Stephens, who scored a season-high 16 points.
