It certainly was not easy, but the No. 13 Virginia Cavaliers improved to 10-2 on the season with a tense 64-62 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday night. Virginia trailed by 11 with 15:26 to play, but the Hoos doubled the Jackets up 26-13 to close the game and improve to 6-0 in the ACC.
Sam Hauser was electric, scoring 22 points on 9-for-12 shooting. He went a perfect 5-for-5 — including 3-for-3 from three — from the field in the second half and was instrumental in mounting the comeback. Hauser hit 4-of-5 from three for the second game in the row, giving Virginia fans a glimpse of the sharpshooter they expected coming into the season.
