ATLANTA (AP) Mfon Udofia scored 17 points, and Derrick Favors had 13 points and 11 rebounds as the two freshmen helped Georgia Tech earn its second straight win, 78-43 over Winston-Salem State on Tuesday.

With a starting lineup that included guards Udofia, D’Andre Bell, Maurice Miller, Georgia Tech had the pressure it needed to force 31 turnovers, a season high for the Rams (2-8).

Zachery Peacock had 13 points and seven rebounds for Georgia Tech, which dropped out of the Top 25 poll after a home loss to Florida State on Dec. 20.
