Thanks to a recent run of wackiness, Georgia Tech could move into a tie for seventh place in the ACC Monday. The Yellow Jackets play Virginia in a game that was postponed from Feb. 21 by a leaky roof in Alexander Memorial Coliseum.

Maybe it figures.

Saturday's 87-79 overtime win over Wake Forest snapped the five-game losing streak that dropped the Jackets all the way to ninth place. It was the first of three straight home games, including Thursday's regular-season home finale against Clemson.

"Turned out it could be a bit of a break for us given the streak that we've been on to have two games at home back-to-back," coach Paul Hewitt said. "Our fortunes can turn pretty quickly if we come out and play well against Virginia."

The Jackets (12-15, 5-8 ACC) played well at Virginia (13-13, 3-10) on Jan. 27, overcoming a 10-point halftime deficit to win in overtime. Reserve point guard Matt Causey scored 12 of his 18 points in OT.

Causey's status will be determined Monday night. He suffered a mild concussion Wednesday at Duke, and did not play against Wake.

That led to a lot more playing time for starting point guard Moe Miller, and D'Andre Bell slid over from shooting guard to play point as well.

"Moe definitely stepped up on Matt's absence, and D'Andre stepped into Matt's role," said Jeremis Smith, who scored 16 points, grabbed 13 rebounds. He also tipped the ball away from Wake point guard Ishmael Smith at the end of regulation before Wake's Smith could attempt one final shot.

"Everybody pretty much came together. You could kind of see it in practice [Friday]; everybody had everybody else's back," Smith said.

If Tech wins out in the regular season, which ends Saturday at Boston College, the Jackets will be .500 overall and in the ACC.

Tech beat Wake by not turning the ball over in overtime and converting both of Wake's turnovers into points. Tech also made 9-of-14 free throws, Wake 1-of-5 in what Hewitt called, "one of the strangest games I've ever been involved in."
