Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Wake Forest Demon Deacons
· NCAA Men's Basketball
79 - 70
Georges-Hunt leads Ga Tech past Wake Forest, 79-70
Daniel Miller added 16 points for the Yellow Jackets (12-10, 3-6 Atlantic Coast Conference).
They shot 49 percent, used an impressive run that bridged the halves and held off the Demon Deacons' late surge to avoid their third loss to a North Carolina-based ACC school in a seven-day span.
Travis McKie scored a career-high 26 points for Wake Forest (14-8, 4-5), and his 3-pointer with 3:10 left made it 69-64.
But he missed one two possessions later. Georges-Hunt followed with a layup that made it a seven-point game with 1 1/2 minutes left, Chris Bolden intercepted Devin Thomas' inbounds pass and Kammeon Holsey hit two free throws to push the Yellow Jackets' lead to 73-64.
Codi Miller-McIntyre, who averages 14.6 points, scored all 10 of his points in the first half but didn't play in the second after injuring an ankle while going for a rebound with 4.9 seconds left.
Holsey finished with 10 points for the Yellow Jackets, who also lost a high-scoring guard in the first half. Leading scorer Trae Golden, who also averages 14.6 points, suffered an apparent groin injury midway through the first half for Brian Gregory's injury-riddled team.
One of the key plays in this one was a 3-pointer that Wake Forest had taken off the board.
Coron Williams appeared to have pulled the Demon Deacons within four points by rattling in a 3 with 14 1/2 minutes left. But the officials conferred and determined that Tyler Cavanaugh pulled the net while the ball was on the rim, disallowing the bucket.
Quinton Stephens followed with a long jumper to put Georgia Tech up by nine. Miller added a hook shot before and Stacey Poole Jr. each hit free throws to help the Yellow Jackets match their largest lead, 58-45, with 12 minutes left.
The Yellow Jackets showed some remarkable efficiency during a 24-8 run that started in the first half and ended in the second. Georgia Tech scored on 12 of 15 possessions and Bolden did much of the damage.
