The Virginia basketball team overcame a determined defensive effort from Georgia Tech on Wednesday to grab an ACC road win, something that’s been a rare commodity this season. The Cavaliers remain atop the ACC as a result. The Double Bonus is back for a look inside of the game with the Yellow Jackets.

Trey Murphy III’s Rebounding

Virginia junior Trey Murphy III played a pivotal role in the road win. The eye-catching number was 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting as the Yellow Jackets elected to provide little help off of Sam Hauser or Jay Huff, who lit them up for 40 points in the Charlottesville game. Murphy’s offense, along with Kihei Clark’s 14, provided the needed lift to get the victory.
