Georgia Tech WBB Defeats Wake Forest 63-55
Georgia Tech WBB is back in the win column after a recent three-game losing streak.
The Yellow Jackets (13-13, 4-11) played a fantastic game on the defensive end and were able to hold the Demon Deacons offense and limit them all game.
While Georgia Tech might have finished the game strong, they did not start out of the gates that way.
Tech trailed 23-15 after the first quarter and it was not looking great. Wake Forest was red hot from the field during the first quarter and shot 60% and it looked like the Demon Deacons were going to use their offense to run past Georgia Tech.
Then the defense completely shut down the Wake Forest attack.
