Virginia
has now lost two straight games to team's projected to finish in the
bottom half of the ACC. Each time I watch Virginia, I remark that the
team's weakness is their interior defense. This game they went up
against a Georgia Tech's strong frontcourt, which features multiple
players who can score at will in the post. Virginia could not
manufacture enough offense to keep up. Brogdon was good early, and
Perrantes did his best to keep the team in the game late. However,
the team only shot 40.4% from the field as a whole, and just 22.2%
from three.

Georgia Tech received stellar play from their big men, especially Nick Jacobs and James White. Jacobs showed off the ability to score from anywhere inside the arc, and seems proficient both in the low both, and stepping back for a jumper. Virginia often chose to double team star Charles Mitchell, but Georgia Tech was often able to take advantage of the situation and find the open man, and when they left Mitchell single guarded he was able to score. Adam Smith and Marcus Georges-Hunt did not have their best games, but Smith still hit four 3-pointers, and MGH is still adapting to the point guard position. Quentin Stephens was also very impressive in the win. He shot 6-8, and four for four from 3pt range. In addition to scoring, Stephens also played good defense. Georgia Tech looked very good against Virginia, and they could continue to surprise, especially if the backcourt plays better.
