Preview: Georgia Tech at No. -- Virginia Tech BLACKSBURG, Va. (Interstat) — The Virginia Tech Hokies look to rebound from a tough overtime loss when they host the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in an Atlantic Coast Conference women’s basketball matchup Sunday at Cassell Coliseum. Virginia Tech (20-8, 10-5 ACC) fell 66-63 in overtime to North Carolina on Thursday, snapping a three-game winning streak. The Hokies, who have won seven of their last ten, are led by guard Carys Baker. She averages 15.2 points per game and is coming off a 43-minute, 15-point performance against the Tar Heels. Baker has been a consistent scorer, posting 20 or more points in three of her last seven contests. The visiting Yellow Jackets (12-15, 5-10) are aiming to build momentum after an 84-68 road win at Pittsburgh. That victory ended a two-game skid for Georgia Tech, which has struggled for consistency in conference play. The matchup features a compelling duel between standout guards. Georgia Tech’s Brianna Turnage is a versatile force, coming off a career-high 20 points against Pittsburgh. In her last eight games, the junior has recorded three double-doubles, including an 18-rebound, 7-assist effort in a win over Stanford on Feb. 8. Her ability to impact the game across multiple statistical categories will be crucial for the Yellow Jackets. Virginia Tech holds a significant edge in the standings and won the season’s first meeting, 71-58, in Atlanta on Jan. 4. In that game, the Hokies’ defense forced 18 Georgia Tech turnovers. The Hokies are 12-2 at home this season, while Georgia Tech is 3-7 in true road games. Virginia Tech’s interior defense, ranked third in the ACC in blocks, will test a Georgia Tech offense that shot 50% from the field in its last outing. Sunday’s game tips off at 2 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on ACC Network Extra. For Virginia Tech, it represents a chance to solidify its postseason resume. For Georgia Tech, it’s an opportunity to play spoiler and secure a signature road win to close the regular season.
