Ryan Dunn just missed two FTs - air-balling the second - and GT has life. #UVA is up 67-60 with 1:50 to play here.

Halftime: Virginia 33, Georgia Tech 29. Cavs really tightened the screws on defense, Tech only had five points in the final nine minutes after leading by 11 early. Capper: An awful inbound turnover by Tech leads to Virginia layup at buzzer.

Final: Virginia Tech 84, NC State 78. Huge win for #Hokies, their first on the road this season. They improve to 3-4 in ACC. Played very well, outside of turnovers. Finished with 20 miscues... but shot 53% and held Pack to 43%. Mike Young will take that. https://t.co/Yc3Y92ESUN
Final: VA Tech 84, NC State 78. Hokies' 1st road win of the year. Much more damaging loss for the Wolfpack than meets the naked eye.

With Jordan Minor and Dante Harris both playing, #UVA started to look how Tony Bennett envisioned this team would, turning in an impressive 65-57 over the rival #Hokies. It was the 'Hoos 20th straight home win. “That was a long time coming.” https://t.co/BIHWZZ7Je9
Far too often this season, Reece Beekman has flown solo as the linchpin of #UVa’s defense. Wednesday night against the #Hokies, Dante Harris and Jordan Minor had his back. ⬇️ https://t.co/kKqLZ81IUF
In his return from an ankle sprain, Dante Harris delivered impact for #UVa in its win over Virginia Tech. He had 5 points, 5 assists and no turnovers. And more importantly, Harris provided, "an injection of some real legitimate spit and vinegar." https://t.co/gf51HgYHCt https://t.co/QMC7uh2NHC
After tonight, would not be surprised - if Harris's ankle is OK - to see #UVA start the Georgia Tech game with a lineup of Jordan Minor, Ryan Dunn, Reece Beekman, Dante Harris and Isaac McKneely. Jake Groves coming off the bench as a stretch four and Blake Buchanan spelling Minor https://t.co/Py1B3LRyWp
Jordan Minor and Reece Beekman each scored 16 points and #UVA played its most Virginia-like defense in weeks, downing the rival #Hokies 65-57 on Wednesday night to improve to 10-0 at home this season. https://t.co/BIHWZZ7Je9
#UVa wins -- and covers. 65-57 the final over #Hokies. JPJ winning streak now 20 games.
Points in the paint: #UVa 28, #Hokies 14. Cavaliers lead 54-43 with 3:38 remaining.
#Hokies not going away. Hunter Cattoor dunks and Tech trims #UVA's lead to 46-41 with 7:01 to play. Both teams, losers of 3 of 4 coming, desperately need this game.
THIS is the Jordan Minor #UVa expected and needs.
Jordan Minor with a nifty post move for the bucket. He has 12 points and 4 rebounds in his second straight start for #UVA, his teammates are out to midcourt chest-bumping and embracing him. Kudos to Tony Bennett and staff for not giving up on that guy. Game changer.
Dante Harris whips a pass to Jordan Minor for the two-handed slam and #UVA leads the #Hokies 44-34.
#Hokies got back in this thing with an 8-0 run (five points coming from Pedulla) but #UVA answered with tough baskets from two unlikely sources - Blake Buchanan and Dante Harris. Virginia up 40-31 with 11:45 to go.
Back-to-back 3-pointers from Tyler Nickel and Sean Pedulla and the #Hokies offense showing signs of life. #UVA still leads 36-29 with 13:46 to play. Pedulla up to 8 for Tech.
#UVa on a 9-0 binge fueled, naturally, by defense. Cavaliers lead #Hokies 34-21. Beekman with 12 points, 4 assists, 3 steals. Minor with excellent post defense.
Reece Beekman to Ryan Dunn for the fast-break ally-oop slam and #UVA leads 34-21 over the #Hokies with 16:25 to play. JPJ is rocking and the 'Hoos are clicking.
Really unlucky end-of-first half, start-of-second half sequence as UVA plays pretty solid defense but gives up two threes that took a 10 point lead to just four.
#UVA held the #Hokies to their fewest first-half points (18) this season. The last time Tech didn't score 20 in the first half was at Notre Dame in March of 2020. Thanks to VT SID Brian Cox for that nugget.
#UVa pestered #Hokies into 10 first-half TOs and limited them to 27% shooting. Yet Cavaliers only lead 25-18 at intermission. Should be more.
HALFTIME: #UVA 25, #Hokies 18 Reece Beekman has 10 points and Virginia played its best defensive half of the month. Tech with 10 turnovers and 4 for 12 from 3. Cattoor with a 3 just before the halftime buzzer.
Reece Beekman up to 10 points after hitting that tough contested shot to put #UVA up 25-15. #Hokies shooting 23.8% from the floor, 3 for 11 from 3 and have 8 turnovers.
Eight consecutive stops propel #UVa to 23-15 lead over #Hokies. U4 TV break.
The game still seems to be going to fast for Jordan Minor at times. Twice he's been caught off guard by passes from #UVA teammates.
Seven first-half turnovers for the #Hokies, including 3 by Sean Pedulla.
Virginia Tech having the full UVa at UVa experience right now. 21-13 Hoos after 14 minutes of play
Coming in, #UVA has shot 40.3% from 3 at home and 27.4% from 3 on the road. Tonight? 4 for 8 beyond the arc, including two by Jake Groves, and 'Hoos lead #Hokies 21-13 with 5:56 left in the half.
#UVA is such a better shooting team at home. 'Hoos are 4-7 from 3 and lead #Hokies 19-13 with 7:45 left in the half.
#Hokies made their first two shots. Since, 1 of 9 as #UVa defense tightened. Cavaliers lead 13-11 at second TV break.
#Hokies have missed their last six shots, including that air-balled 3 by Mekhi Long, and #UVA has taken a 13-11 with 10:51 left in the first half.
Dante Harris, who missed the last 10 games with a sprained right ankle, checks in for #UVA. Harris now guarding Sean Pedulla and Beekman on Cattoor.
Jordan Minor with 4 points, Hunter Cattoor and MJ Collins with a 3 each. #UVA and #Hokies tied 6-6 with 15:48 left in the half.
Four possessions for the #Hokies, two 3-pointers and two turnovers.
#UVA opens with Reece Beekman on Sean Pedulla and Isaac McKneely on Hunter Cattoor. Forces a turnover on #Hokies first possession but MJ Collins strokes a 3 on the next one.
#UVA gives Jordan Minor the start again tonight vs. #Hokies, along with Beekman, Dunn, McKneely and Rohde. Tech goes Pedulla, Cattoor, Collins, Kidd and Beran.
Dante Harris (ankle) is out there for warm-ups for #UVA ahead of tonight's game against #Hokies. Missed the last 10 and 'Hoos on-ball defense has been shaky.
NEW POD: @ByDavidTeel and I break down tonight's #Hokies-#UVA game. Can the 'Hoos cool off the red-hot Sean Pedulla? Could Lynn Kidd vs Blake Buchanan be the key? How much are the teams missing Hunter Cattoor and Dante Harris? All that and more... ⬇️ https://t.co/SVIROOVfCV
