Hudson’s 3 Lifts Hokies Over Jackets 74-73 In Overtime

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) – Dorenzo Hudson made a 3-pointer as time expired in overtime to lift Virginia Tech to a 74-73 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday.

The Yellow Jackets took a 73-71 lead on a jumper by Mfon Udofia with 5 seconds remaining, and Virginia Tech called a timeout with 3.5 seconds left.

After the timeout, Jarell Eddie caught the ball in the corner and nearly lost control. But he passed the ball out of a double team and found Hudson, who launched the game-winning shot for the Hokies (15-12, 4-8 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Erick Green finished with 14 points and could’ve won the game in regulation for Virginia Tech, but his jumper missed. Cadarian Raines added a career-high 13 points for the Hokies, who lost on a last-second shot by Florida State on Thursday.

Georgia Tech (9-17, 2-10) has lost nine of its past 10 games and 13 of 15.
