The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies, 77-70, Wednesday in Atlanta. It's the Hokies' second loss in their last three games, dropping them to 15-11 and 5-10 in ACC play.
Much like since ACC play began, the Hokies allowed an opponent have one of their best shooting nights of the season against Tech's defense. Georgia Tech entered Wednesday’s game averaging seven made 3-pointers per game. Against the Hokies, Georgia Tech made a season-high 11 3-pointers, shooting 50% from beyond the arc.
Meanwhile, another trend in many of Virginia Tech’s losses this year was its poor shooting from 3-point range.
