ATLANTA -- Mfon Udofia scored 15 points, including the go-ahead basket with 1:15 to play, lifting Georgia Tech to a come-from-behind 66-60 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over Virginia on Sunday at McCamish Pavilion.

Udofia followed with a floater from the lane that gave the Yellow Jackets (12-8, 2-6 in the ACC) their first lead since the first half.
Georgia Tech made 5-of-8 free throws in the final 44 seconds to seal their second victory in their last three games.
Joe Harris led Virginia (15-4, 5-3) with 18 points, including four 3-pointers. The loss drops the Cavaliers back into the jumbled middle of the ACC.
