Lyndra Littles began the game against Georgia Tech with 11 turnovers this season.
After committing nine of visiting Virginia's season-high 28 miscues yesterday, Littles wasn't exactly in a great mood.
"They're scrappy, and we didn't have any poise," the senior forward said. "The things that we worked on in practice as far as breaking their press we didn't do, and the times we did do it, we scored. We just didn't do it enough."
Iasia Hemingway scored 17 points and Alex Montgomery had 16 in Georgia Tech's 74-66 victory over No. 22 Virginia (22-8, 8-6 Atlantic Coast Conference).
The Yellow Jackets (21-8, 8-6) closed the regular season with three straight wins.
The Cavaliers are seeded sixth in this week's ACC tournament in Greensboro, N.C., and will face 11th-seeded Virginia Tech on Thursday.
-- DUKE 81, NORTH CAROLINA 79: Jasmine Thomas (Oakton High) scored 19 points and Abby Waner hit the go-ahead three-pointer with 45.8 seconds remaining in overtime to lead the No. 10 Blue Devils (24-4, 11-3 ACC) past the No. 9 Tar Heels (25-5, 10-4) in Durham, N.C.
-- FLORIDA STATE 58, WAKE FOREST 47: Jacinta Monroe had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and the visiting No. 11 Seminoles earned a share of their first ACC title with a win over the Demon Deacons (18-10, 5-9).
Tanae Davis-Cain had 11 points for Florida State (24-6, 12-2).
