Virginia 82, Georgia Tech 54: Junior forward Akil Mitchell grabbed eight rebounds and connected on eight of nine field-goal attempts to score 18 points as the host Cavaliers salvaged a split of the season series with the Yellow Jackets.
Virginia (19-8, 9-5 ACC) also received 15 points from junior guard Joe Harris. Freshman forward Justin Anderson added 11 points and senior guard Jontel Evans scored 10.
Freshman guard Marcus Georges-Hunt led Georgia Tech (14-12, 4-10) with 12 points. Junior center Daniel Miller finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Virginia shot 54.2 percent from the field and forced 16 Georgia Tech turnovers.
