Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

Georgia Tech beats Notre Dame on Terry's tip-in at buzzer

With the score tied at 68 with five seconds remaining, the Yellow Jackets' Kyle Sturdivant drove the left side of the lane and missed a step-back jumper along the baseline. Terry, who had inbounded the ball after a timeout, followed down the left side and delivered a two-handed tip-in for the victory that snapped a nine-game losing streak.

Georgia Tech held Notre Dame to 1-of-11 field goal shooting over the final seven minutes and the Yellow Jackets won despite making only 2 of 8 shots down the stretch.

There were six ties and three lead changes in the first 12 minutes of the second half, the last tie coming on a layup by Cormac Ryan that made it 54-all with 9:15 remaining. Nate Laszewski and Dane Goodwin followed with 3-pointers to give the Fighting Irish a six-point lead. Georgia Tech kept it close and a layup by Javon Franklin had the Yellow Jackets within 64-62 with 5:27 to go.

Neither team scored until Georgia Tech's Deebo Coleman hit three free throws for a 65-64 lead with 3:32 remaining.

Laszewski ended a five-minute field goal drought, making a layup to get Notre Dame within two and later Ryan made two free throws to tie the score at 68 with 1:55 to go. Neither team scored again until Terry's winning play.

Franklin had 16 points with nine rebounds and his block at the rim kept Notre Dame from taking the lead with 1:15 remaining. Sturdivant added 12 points and Coleman 11 for the Yellow Jackets (9-15, 2-12 ACC).

All five starters reached double figures in scoring for Notre Dame (10-14, 2-11), which got only two points off the bench. Laszewski had 16 points, Goodwin 14, Ryan 13, Ven-Allen Lubin 13 and Marcus Hammond 10. Goodwin added seven rebounds, four assists and three steals.

After Ryan hit a 3-pointer to give Notre Dame a 27-24 lead with 5:19 remaining in the first half, Sturdivant and Lance Terry hit 3-pointers to open a 12-2 run that gave Georgia Tech a 36-29 lead. Marcus Hammon and Laszewski then hit 3-pointers to get Notre Dame back within one point, but Georgia Tech held on to lead 38-37 at halftime.
