It wasn’t always pretty, but a win is a win, especially on the road in conference play. The No. 9 Virginia Cavaliers turned the ball over an atrocious 17 times and only got a combined 14 points out of Sam Hauser and Jay Huff, but used a strong second half stretch to come out with a 57-49 victory. Virginia improved to 14-3 on the season, and maintained its stronghold atop the ACC standings at 10-1.
Georgia Tech utilized tenacious defense as they effectively made it impossible for Hauser and Huff to get comfortable or get good looks. Instead, they went under screens and dared Virginia to beat them with the rest of the team.
