Note of the game:  Michael Devoe returned to the court and to the starting lineup for the first time since Jan. 22 at Louisville. He missed the last three games with a bruised left foot. The sophomore guard scored 12 points, his 15th double-digit game this season. He went 5-of-9 from the floor with a pair of threes, had four assists and just one turnover in 32 minutes.

Georgia Tech's Jose Alvarado stole a cross-court pass and started a Yellow Jackets fastbreak, and finished it by tossing it to Moses Wright who threw it down in this ACC Must See Moment.
