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.
The Yellow Jackets (10-2) have won eight of 10.
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).
Miscues by Winston-Salem State led to 34 points for the Yellow Jackets. The Rams failed to score a second-half point until the 12:56 mark, when two free throws by Brian Fisher cut the lead to 50-20.
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.
