Virginia landed at Hartsfield on Wednesday afternoon in advance of their weeknight contest here on the Flats. The Cavaliers and Jackets will face off at Bobby Dodd for the first time since 2018, as previous Tech turn in the rotation was skipped due to the COVID schedule adjustment. Virginia enters the matchup 2-4 and having won the previous two matchups.
Almost incidentally, I am certain that you, dear reader, know the last time Georgia Tech defeated Virginia. Based on that phrasing, an outsider might think that would be because the Jackets and Hoos have some sort of particular animus that could make wins and losses linger a little longer in the mind, but no, the real reason has everything to do with the tandem of Duke and Pittsburgh.
