Baker Shoots Virginia Past Ga. Tech, 76-74

Calvin Baker hit the game-winning three-pointer with 4.2 seconds remaining, and Sean Singletary scored 17 points in Virginia's 76-74 victory over Georgia Tech last night in Atlanta.

Georgia Tech led 74-73 after Jeremis Smith's reverse layin, but Singletary quickly dribbled up the floor and passed quickly to Baker on the right wing.

On Virginia's previous possession, Baker's putback of Singletary's missed reverse layup gave the Cavaliers (14-13, 4-10) a 73-72 lead, their first since the 4-minute 20-second mark.

Baker scored five of his 10 points in the final 29.1 seconds. The sophomore guard finished with seven rebounds.

Zack Peacock scored a career-high 23 points to lead Georgia Tech (12-16, 5-9 ACC), but his errant pass on the left baseline was stolen by Singletary and set up Baker's putback.

Moe Miller's three-point attempt at the buzzer fell off the rim to guarantee the Yellow Jackets' first losing home record at Alexander Memorial Coliseum since 1980-81.

The game was rescheduled from Feb. 21, when rain leaked through the roof and soaked part of the court.

KANSAS 109, TEXAS TECH 51: Russell Robinson's 15 points led the No. 5 Jayhawks in a thrashing of the Red Raiders, the second time in three games Texas Tech suffered the most lopsided loss in school history.

Texas Tech (16-13, 7-8 Big 12) -- and rookie coach Pat Knight -- lost 98-54 at Texas A&M last week, then the biggest loss in school history. In between the record losses, the Red Raiders upset then-No. 5 Texas 83-80, one of the program's biggest wins in several seasons.

For Kansas (27-3, 12-3), it was the biggest win in a conference game in that program's storied history.

The victory gave Kansas a 20-0 record at home, the 14th time the Jayhawks have been unbeaten in tradition-soaked Allen Fieldhouse.

NORFOLK STATE 54, HOWARD 52: Corey Lyons scored 14 points, including a game-tying three-pointer in the final minute, to lift the Spartans (15-13, 11-4 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) at Burr Gymnasium. The Bison, led by Eugene Myatt's 17 points, are 6-24, 3-12.
