 GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - J.R. Reynolds scored a game-high 23 points to help Virginia hold off Virginia Tech 60-56 in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament on Thursday night.
Laurynas Mikalauskas added 11 points and 12 rebounds in his first start in more than two months for the seventh-seeded Cavaliers (15-13), who advanced to Friday's quarterfinals to face second-seeded North Carolina. The win ended a three-game losing streak for Virginia, which also won both meetings with the Hokies during the regular season.
Zabian Dowdell scored 15 points to lead the 10th-seeded Hokies (14-16), who remained winless in two seasons in the ACC tournament.
