WASHINGTON — Georgia Tech guard Marcus Georges-Hunt was unable to contribute in his typical fashion, scoring seven points on 1-for-8 shooting in the Yellow Jackets’ 72-52 defeat to Virginia in the ACC tournament quarterfinals. The seven points was 10 below his season average and 21 fewer than he scored in the second-round win over Clemson on Wednesday.
Georges-Hunt was defended much of the night by Virginia guard Marcus Brogdon, who was named the ACC player of the year and defensive player of the year earlier this week, the first player to earn both honors in the same year.
