ATLANTA (AP) — Marcus Georges-Hunt scored 14 of his 18 points in the first half Saturday, when Georgia Tech used a big run late in the period to blow open the game on the way to a 87-57 win over East Tennessee State.
The Yellow Jackets (7-3) led just 24-19 after ETSU’s Jalen Riley made a pair of free throws with 7:35 left in the first half.
Georges-Hunt countered with a 3-pointer at the other end and Tech raced from there to a 44-23 halftime lead.
East Tennessee State (4-6) was led by A.J. Merriweather’s 18 points and seven rebounds. Riley scored 12.
