ATLANTA — Malcolm Brogdon hopes Virginia accepts coach Tony Bennett’s challenge to his players.
“We’ve got to find five guys who want to come out and play hard every night,” Brogdon said, “regardless if we’re at home or on a visiting court.”
Brogdon scored 19 points and London Perrantes added 13, but their efforts weren’t enough to keep No. 4 Virginia from losing 68-64 to Georgia Tech on Saturday.
The loss was a rare second in a row for Virginia (12-3, 1-2), matching its league loss total of each of the last two years when it won consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season titles.
