Going to need the three ball from Q and Adam Smith to knock off UVA.

Stephens has 7 points already today. Had total of 7 over his last five games.

The Jackets got out to an early lead against the Cavaliers!
BACK-TO-BACK threes from Smith and Stephens has the Jackets up 15-7 and UVA is forced to call a timeout! #TogetherWeSwarm
— McCamish Maniacs (@McCamishManiacs) January 9, 2016
Jackets on a 10-2 run! It's 17-9 with 11:18 remaining in first half. Stephens with 10 points including pair of threes. #TogetherWeSwarm

Tech has a 22-15 lead with 7:25 remaining in the half! #TogetherWeSwarm
— McCamish Maniacs (@McCamishManiacs) January 9, 2016
Quick pace as Jackets up 22-15 with 7:16 remaining in first half. #GaTech shooting 47% including 4-of-7 behind arc. #TogetherWeSwarm
— GT Men's Basketball (@GTMBB) January 9, 2016
I do feel like Tech basketball has improved some, but seriously, you gotta win. It's not enough to have a lead at some point and lose close.
— Emily (@sportsbroad) January 9, 2016
Feels weird saying this, but I'm not sure #4 UVA can beat this #GaTech team in a barn-burner, shootout type of game.
— Joey Weaver (@FTRSLilBroey) January 9, 2016
UVA's Brogdon is 4-for-8 shooting. Rest of the team is 3-for-11. #GaTech taking advantage here before halftime.
— From the Rumble Seat (@FTRSBlog) January 9, 2016
Tech is out-Virginia-ing Virginia on the defensive end* *for now
— Wes Morton (@Wes_Morton) January 9, 2016
Pair of Georges-Hunt free throws gives Jackets 28-16 lead, their largest of afternoon. #TogetherWeSwarm
— GT Men's Basketball (@GTMBB) January 9, 2016
Don't look now, but #GaTech might have #4 UVA on the #Questfor40. Leading 28-18 with about 2:30 til halftime...
— Joey Weaver (@FTRSLilBroey) January 9, 2016
Adam Smith is on fire https://t.co/sW4DY11xyc
— Jon Pence (@scacchoops) January 9, 2016
Adam Smith from the corner! Jackets up 33-18. McCamish is rocking! #TogetherWeSwarm
— GT Men's Basketball (@GTMBB) January 9, 2016
@GTMBB Let's just hope they actually play with same efficiency/fire in the 2nd half. It has NOT been kind. #TogetherWeSwarm
— John Walls (@JohnWalls73) January 9, 2016
Our offense was clicking in the first half, and the defense held UVA to only 24 first half points.
My goodness, what a pass from Mitchell and shot by Jacobs. That was awesome.
— Joey Weaver (@FTRSLilBroey) January 9, 2016
Jackets lead 4th-ranked Virginia at the half! #TogetherWeSwarm pic.twitter.com/OTr0kypW12
— GT Men's Basketball (@GTMBB) January 9, 2016
Double digit lead at the half against the number 4 team in the country. It's a start. #TogetherWeSwarm
— Kyle Dorman (@thomascorange91) January 9, 2016
Great first half at McCamish!!! #GoTech #ACCBasketball https://t.co/5Sk59Fw4A6
— Emily Raines (@Freckles949) January 9, 2016
Hotline Bling played by @themadviolinist during @GTMBB halftime. Wow!
— Kristin Clement (@kmblackwell) January 9, 2016
Let's hope this doesn't come true again this afternoon:
Jackets lead 35-24 at half. UVA has won two games coming back from double-digit deficits this season.

First time back in McCamish since graduation. Game's going well so far! #TogetherWeSwarm pic.twitter.com/AG4rwcGJfq
— Orin Lincoln (@OrinDLincoln) January 9, 2016
The second half got off to a great start, as well, as the Jackets were able to keep the momentum.
A James White putback dunk and a forced jump ball on the defensive end has McCamish rocking! 43-34 Jackets #TogetherWeSwarm
— McCamish Maniacs (@McCamishManiacs) January 9, 2016
James White active on offensive glass with three putbacks in the half. Jackets up 43-34 with 15:37 left to play. #TogetherWeSwarm
— GT Men's Basketball (@GTMBB) January 9, 2016
Tech up 9 with 11:57 to go, 47-38! Jacobs with 10 points now on 5/7 shooting #TogetherWeSwarm
— McCamish Maniacs (@McCamishManiacs) January 9, 2016
Virginia was keeping it close the entire second half, and looked like they were going to grab their first lead late in the game.
This game is contentious! Good thing I'm getting a manicure right after! #GoJackets #TogetherWeSwarm
— KatGirl (@katiew) January 9, 2016
Tech lead cut to five, but still up 49-44 with 7:41 remaining! #TogetherWeSwarm

But Quentin Stephens had other plans.
McCamish IS LIT! #TogetherWeSwarm

. @GTMBB up by 7 over #4 UVA with 42 sec left. This would be a big win. Fight hard Jackets! #togetherweswarm
— Rep. Buzz Brockway (@buzzbrockway) January 9, 2016
@GTMBB let's make those free throws down the stretch!! #GoJackets #TogetherWeSwarm
— ATL Sports Nut (@AtlNut) January 9, 2016
This would be a huge win for GT over #4 UVA. No lead feels safe, but they're getting close. #TogetherWeSwarm
— Remember 2014? (@GTechYJ) January 9, 2016
The Cavaliers wouldn't go away, but the Yellow Jackets were able to execute late in the game, which is something we have been missing over the last couple of years.
Cavs drain a corner three to cut #GaTech lead to 61-54 with 42.4 seconds left. Virginia calls their final timeout. #TogetherWeSwarm
— GT Men's Basketball (@GTMBB) January 9, 2016
Adam Smith at the shot clock buzzer!!!
— GT Men's Basketball (@GTMBB) January 9, 2016
More clutch free throws. Tech up 6 with 5 sec. left. #togetherweswarm
