The Deacs got their payback against the Yellow Jackets at home. Lewis Clinch led Georgia Tech with 24 points, five assists and six rebounds but was hindered by six turnovers. Iman Shumpert added 14 points, four assists and three steals. The Deacs got out to a quick lead, but almost gave it away in the second half as GT cut the lead to five at one point. In the end though, the Deacs stretched out the lead again behind some great plays by Ish Smith and James Johnson and some key rebounds from Tony Woods and move to 20-4 (7-4 ACC).
