The knockout blow was an extended 25-7 run midway through the second half, a spurt that elevated the Demon Deacons (15-4, 5-3 ACC) from a 51-49 deficit to a 74-58 lead. And as it has all season, Wake Forest got its contributions from all across the board.

Georgia Tech shot just 5 of 20 (25 percent) from 3-point range, missed six free throws and turned the ball over 15 times in another dismal offensive performance.
