A packed McCamish Pavilion was not enough to lift Georgia Tech over #2 Virginia Thursday night, as the Jackets fell 64-48. The Cavaliers, who boast the nations top defense, held Tech to just 41% shooting. The loss comes on the heels of four consecutive wins for the Jackets after a 6-7 start to the season.
While the Virginia defense deserves all the credit in the world, the Jackets did themselves no favors, turning the ball over 18 times on the night. The 18 turnovers were Tech’s second highest total of the season, trailing only the Bethune Cookman game in which Tech turned the ball over 19 times.
