GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) – Malcolm Delaney scored 15 points and Virginia Tech beat Georgia Tech 59-43 on Thursday night in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.

Jeff Allen added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the sixth-seeded Hokies (20-10), who never trailed.

They shot nearly 47 percent on 22-of-47 shooting, raced out to an early 19-point lead and made it stand, snapping the irksome two-game losing streak that brought their NCAA tournament candidacy into question.

Glen Rice Jr. scored 14 points to lead 11th-seeded Georgia Tech (13-18). The Yellow Jackets hit a few late shots to avoid their season-low shooting percentage – they finished 17 of 53 (32 percent) – but their two-game winning streak was halted.
