Louisville moves past Georgia Tech, 84-74, in ACC tournament first round

There is more Louisville basketball to be played in 2021-22.

The Cardinals led Georgia Tech by 27 midway through the second half, nearly saw that lead entirely evaporate, and then held on for an 84-74 win in the first round of the ACC tournament Tuesday night in Brooklyn.

U of L, the tournament’s No. 11 seed, will now face sixth-seeded Virginia in the second round Wednesday night at approximately 9:30 p.m.

The star of the show for Louisville was Jarrod West, who buried back-to-back three-pointers in the game’s most critical juncture to give U of L some breathing room from the surging Yellow Jackets.
