Wake Forest beats Georgia Tech, 75-64
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons kept pace in the ACC regular season race with a 75-64 victory over the No. 20 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Al-Farouq Aminu had 19 points and 10 rebounds to pace Wake Forest, and Ishmael Smith reached 1,000 points for his career and hit the game-winner with over a minute to play.
Smith continued his do-it all ability, finishing with 10 points, eight assists and six rebounds in the winning effort.
Aminu said afterward that he thinks all of the pieces are starting to come together for the Demon Deacons and that things are flowing much better than earlier in the year.
The win keeps the Demon Deacons just one game behind the Duke Blue Devils and tied with a couple of others for second place in the ACC.
