The Yellow Jackets fell at home for their sixth consecutive loss on the season and are right back to square one. Georgia Tech is still in major search for answers and will needed to find them quickly with only six games left in the season. It was a game marked by a second-half run that propelled Wake Forest past the Yellow Jackets as they took full control of the game. Wheteher it has been slow starts in the first half of games or the second half, the Yellow Jackets have struggled with having the same effort consistently for two halves. It reared its ugly head on Wednesday night and doomed the Yellow Jackets.

Despite improved shooting from the Ramblin Wreck in two of the past three game making 10 three pointers, they are struggling to stay in game and their defense has regressed. We saw a 40 point outing by Ebuka Okorie in Palo, Alto. Last night Juke Harris produced a 20 point double-double for Wake Forest. It has been a tough stretch for the Yellow Jackets and we are seeing a lot of the same issues flare up at the wrong time for Georgia Tech.
