you now have four points in the ball game. >> lachina: she didn't play against boston college in the last game. two minutes overall in the acc now kellum comes down with it for the cavs. had a couple of players inside. did not look up to see them, though, in the paint. kellum going to pull it out and set up the offense. kellum has had three acls on top of the one -- excuse me, the one she had last year was her third. two-on-one knee and one on the other. >> lachina: monica wright even got that bucket to fall. georgia tech, a little lazy with their passing. >> jenn: that foul, against alex montgomery, for her to have gotten off to such a good start

in the game, doesn't quite have the role as last time. monica wright taken away by the foul but cavs get the ball back. montgomery meanwhile has three fouls in the ball game and is on the bench. excuse me, she is still playing with them. can't afford to take montgomery out of the game. that's what you have to keep in mind, substitution coming back from an energy. coming out of locker room, halftime is quite a long time to cool off. got to get right back in the action. foul ball against virginia. >> lachina: you watch monica wright off the ball, which she does here, making sure officials don't think she's pushing off there. maybe just a little bit of a stabili stabilizer. >> lachina: like i'm not doing

anything, not doing anything, all of a sudden -- >> jenn: ardossi gets taken out as she's shooting by gerson, really undercut on that shot. that's the first foul by lexie gerson. ardossi has been fairly effective in knocking down that mid-range jump shot when georgia tech found her there. eight points in the game, three rebounds. >> lachina: ardossi a sophomore on this team, the last time tech visited john paul jones arena, which has to be one of the most exciting games i'm seen in basketball. a double overtime, 103-101 victory by virginia. i mean, a number of players fouled out. there was this amazing offensive display. both teams were exhausted by the final buzzer.

this place holds a lot of memories for both teams. >> jenn: 207 points in a ball game combined pretty impressive. you don't see that often. uses her strength to get that alive. can't get it to fall those edwards shot it down. a time-out. thththththththththththththththth

>> jenn: virginia leading georgia tech. leading scorer for the cavaliers, you guessed it, acc preseason player of the year monica wright who earlier this season became the school's all-time leading scorer surpassing the record, 2,000135

points. that happened on january 11th in a long one-point loss to the terrapins in the arena. the leading scorer, virginia has gotten great contributions, 15 points off their bench in this ball game. immediately look at the edwards who are creating a lot of energy and gerson as well. on the georgia tech side, the starting lineup, they have not been getting the

y make the correct call here. take a few moments, se

hole but virginia still leads by eight.

>> jenn: georgia tech trying to keep it a ball game here in charlottesville as they trail by eight, lachina. they can't put up the big numbers in the second half. >> lachina: you can never count out yellowjackets. they have the work ethic and intensity you see in their coach machelle joseph. the other night they had 50 points after a slow start.

also in chapel hill but they didn't pick up the win. >> jenn: montgomery played a key role in the second half against savannah state, knocking down three-pointere three-pointers. nowhere for the jackets to go when they face off for the turnover. montgomery, a look at the three-pointer basket. >> jenn: we've got alex montgomery who has been at the other end of the court. didn't even make the rundown. ardossi also is in the center of the court, maybe got hit in the face in that last pass. not a good sign there for montgomery holder her quote

un leg

other end. virginia the charging call. >> she had a little hop by monica wright. looked like she would get there in time. she hopped right in the air as

deja foster was getting there, getting the call. >> jenn: wright picking up her third personal foul on that play. pretty impressive considering she had two in the first couple of minutes of this ball game. deja foster at the line for the jackets. 68% on the year. that one falls off the side of the rim. mccall pulls it down. looks like the jackets scored the jump ball. >> regins in the midst there. when she's in the game, georgia tech likes to pick up full court pressure. they will put regins on the ball and she is just an animal on that basketball. >> a lot of energy in that 6'2" frame. >> lachina: loud in practice. you knew when she was around. >> jenn: she never stops

talking. that energy creates a lot of momentum for georgia tech offensively. we haven't seen much of her this afternoon. that not good by mccall. bennett comes up, tries to find ardossi inside. away by the cavaliers. >> lachina: sasha goodlett has kind of been back and forth on the bench. she's back in for this offensive possession as well as the edwards sisters. whitny for virginia. ardossi called for another walk. the jackets not getting things to go their way offensively when they have been in the half-court. that is their 20th turnover. >> they trail virginia by 11.

>> jenn: nearly gets the ball taken away from edwards. >> virginia has shown a lot of freedom in their offense because there have been other scorers than monica wright in the game. they have got some options. >> batted around back and forth. the cavaliers have been in control since we started this second half getting contributions from lots of players other than monica wright players other than monica wright while the jackets are trying

returning. >> jenn: montgomery on the bench. trying to get a look at her. by her side there trying to gauge how her guard, junior guard is feeling. >> i believe montgomery shook her head and said i am all right to go in. we'll keep an eye on that, depending what the trainers have to say. players always want to play, jenn, you know that. >> jenn: wright has nobody inside. ardossi steps in to try to help defensive defensively. the foul is on mo bennett. her third. >> lachina: absolutely montgomery getting ready to check in. i guess i can read lips a little better than i originally those. >> jenn: that's a good talent to have in this game.

pick up some good things. montgomery is a fighter for sure. let's see if she can give a boost to her teammates in the last 7:00 and change in this ball game. >> lachina: virginia continuing to attack the rims, going to the free throw line again. they have not missed for the night. they are 16 for 16. >> jenn: that's one of those stats that can really show up in a close ball game for sure. >> foul on the floor. goodlett drawing some attention on the post. edwards picked up the foul. back inside by the jackets. >> lachina: deja foster, who has been really the only reliable option on the offensive end for tech catching it on that possession going up strong. >> jenn: what a pass by the

freshman gerson. she took a hit for it but will certainly get the assist to britny edwards, who has eight in the ball game, surpassing her previous career high of five. >> nice inside by sasha goodlett, using her body, two feet in the paint, there's not a lot you can do, especially when she's got a four inch advantage on her defender. >> jenn: on the other end forced goodlett to play defense as they break the pressure, gerson gets her tenth point of the game. >> lachina: just not getting there for georgia tech, pressure defense. they are not able to recover in transition. virginia just getting some easy looks at the rim. >> jenn: ardossi draws the foul for the yellowjackets. >> lachina: another one on

britny edwards. she's picked up a couple here in the last minute or so. ardossi one of the best free throw shows in the acc. ardossi the kind of player that never stops working, not only in practice. she had a bad game a few days and she was seen in the gym at 10:00 practicing her shot. you look at her numbers and that didn't come easy. she had to work to get where she is. >> a second in the row. virginia broken the press, a one-on-one opportunity. this time they are able to make their defense stand up, though. ardossi going to take another trip to the free-throw line. that is clearly a good option if

you're georgia tech. >> lachina: that's a good option for several reasons, not only because you know you'll get production from brigitte ardossi. if you can stop the clock and get free throw opportunities, they can close the gap. look at that strong move. >> close the gap without those precious seconds ticking off the clock. ardossi with a chance to make it a single point deficit here. and she does. fourteen points in the ball game, right around her average for the senior. chelsea shine checks back in for virginia. let's see if georgia tech can get that rotation on the back side. they are going to have to get out, transition game, especially with monica wright handling the basketball. wright finds gerson quickly. no good.

good rebound by montgomery. running okay with the ankle. good pressure defensively by the cavaliers as they use that sideline. although machelle joseph and alex montgomery are sure going to plead their case. it looks like they will win. the call overturned. give the ball to the jackets. >> lachina: offense to defense, that's the key for georgia tech. when brigitte ardossi in, on the offensive end, regins will sub in and out because of pressure on the full court and trying to get turnovers by the yellowjackets. >> be sure to stick around. we'll take you to the sec with arkansas at alabama coming up after this one. britny edwards maybe a little

contact issue, trying to get that pressure on the sideline. inside to goodlett, nice to ardossi. sixteen points to ardossi as georgia tech has cut this lead down to seven. >> they have done it with their paint points. getting the ball to ardossi, sasha goodlett contributing. still not falling for tech, they are finding an answer inside. >> jenn: a hand on the ball, walthour there, but it's going out-of-bounds the way of the cavaliers. on the other end great vision by goodlett and great patience. the -- the patientce.

what a shot there at the end of the shot clock. >> do not turn away for a second, a shot by monica wright off the inbound. turn over by the jackets as wright is hitting the 20 point mark. just when georgia tech was parting to make a run, you know who's name popped up again. 21 points in the game. 4:30 to play, virginia with a nine-point lead. georgia tech led by one at the half. haven't seen the lead since then. virginia has put together a fine second half here, though looks a little shaky the last couple of minutes. georgia tech is making a move.

>> lachina: georgia tech is absolutely making a move. virginia, monica wright makes a big play. when you're playing on the road with the acc, you have to sustain, come back. it's a competitive league. it's never over. but you've got to sustain the knocks and continue to play the game all the way through. it's a 40-minute effort and sometimes more. >> jenn: a little off for ardossi. montgomery pounding for three. coming through in crunch time from jackets. she has been quiet. that's going to be a foul called against brigitte ardossi. her third. the georgia tech yellowjackets attempting to make a run here in chesvi they 55- uth ,

georgia tech getting a third. ardossi scored eight of georgia tech's last points in the paint. making a stand, a three-point shot by alex montgomery before the break. >> lachina: ardossi up top trying to defend monica wright. >> jenn: 10:00 on the shot clock for virginia. no good. montgomery goes up for the rebound. >> lachina: montgomery has had a presence on the board since she came in. she got carried off the floor with that ankle. she doesn't look to be hurt even a little bit. >> jenn: get it inside. goodlett, turn around. no good. feels that defensive pressure. under three minutes to play now, virginia 55-49, looking for

their third acc win of the season, virginia and georgia tech, both at two and two in the conference. >> lachina: that's a mismatch there with kellum and goodlett. trying to get monica to bail them out. that rebound will help from whitny edwards. fresh shot clock for virginia. >> lachina: tech out of position defensively, therefore not getting a chance to get a rebound, and they needed one. they needed that rebound. really badly. >> jenn: not a time to go off the clock for cavaliers. >> lachina: two minutes a lot of time so you don't foul. but they have to be conscious of the clock. a mistake there by kellum as the cavaliers, certainly good for them to take time off the clock at this point. do they seem a little hesitant to you. >> lachina: they have not set up offense in the half-court.

i'm sure they are going to be. this is a transition game for them. they have to set up in the half-court. they make look a little bit out of sorts. >> jenn: montgomery, she knocks down another one. if the yellowjackets are going to make a run from downtown, that young lady is the one who you expect to have the ball in her hands. jackets shooting 28% from three-point range, next to the last in the conference. but montgomery hit her last two. jenn, at the top of the show, i said alex montgomery is the answer to every question for georgia tech, and she really is. she does it with her rebounding. here you see her knocking down big shots. she's a game time player. she's truly a prochlt she can tell when the game is on the line and she comes up with big shots. >> jenn: i think it's safe to say we are not going to hit the 100 point mark in these teams. both teams did last time they played and went to double overtime here in charlottesville. virginia won that game. in fact, virginia has been very

strong against georgia tech in their hometown. the jackets just one and 25 in charlottesville. they lost their only matchup here in john paul jones arena, so trying to snap that streak. alex montgomery as you can see there, one of the best all-time georgia tech when it comes to knocking down those three-point shots. a frustrating moment with the recovery from the knee injury. watching her she was in front of us lachina. she's wincing and trying to play through some pain. i can promise you there. >> lachina: she is wincing. she's going to need help defensively oterotation. >> jenn: when you need a bucket for virginia you go to monica wright, makes it look easy. she was one of the best in the acc and in the country. didn't get the steal that time
