The Georgia Tech men’s basketball team used a huge 45-point second half on Tuesday night to cruise by the Virginia Tech Hokies as the Jackets took down the No.16 Hokies 69-53 in Cassell Coliseum. The second-half explosion for the Jackets came after a first half that saw the ACC rivals combine for just 48-points, heading into halftime with a 24-24 tie.

Moses Wright was completely dominant in the game, posting 26 points including 17 of those in the second half on 9-of-11 shooting from the field and 7-of-11 from the free-throw line.
