Reeves, Washington lead 2nd-half charge in Georgia Tech's 78-74 win over
Wolfpack
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) --- Kowacie Reeves Jr. scored 21 points, Lamar Washington
added 18 and the two combined for 28 in the second half as Georgia Tech held
off North Carolina State 78-74 on Saturday to snap a three-game losing streak.
Akai Fleming added 16 points and Jaeden Mustaf collected his first career
double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Yellow Jackets (11-8, 2-4
ACC).
Quadir Copeland scored 16 points and Paul McNeil Jr. and Ven-Allen Lubin added
12 each for the Wolfpack (12-6, 3-2), who had won their last two games and five
of their past six.
Reeves hit a 3-pointer with under 10 minutes left to give the Yellow Jackets
their first lead since late in the first half. The basket was part of a 12-2
run that put Georgia Tech up 65-58 and the Yellow Jackets held on from there
despite some poor free-throw shooting.
Copeland got the Wolfpack within four with 49.9 seconds remaining after
consecutive 3-pointers. Georgia Tech made just 2 of 8 free throws from there
but a steal and free throw by Washington was enough to preserve the win after
N.C. State missed two 3s on its final possession.
N.C. State opened the game with 3-pointers from Alyn Breed and Copeland before
Georgia Tech scored the next 12 points, including a pair of Fleming 3s. The
Yellow Jackets kept the lead until the Wolfpack outscored them 11-2 over the
final 2/1 2 minutes for a 35-34 halftime lead on Copeland's last-second layup.
The Wolfpack had been 12-0 when leading at halftime.
