Ga. Tech Hoopsters beat Presbyterian

Georgia Tech 77, Presbyterian 64

ATLANTA (AP) - Anthony Morrow scored 16 points and freshmen Moe

Miller and Gani Lawal in Georgia Tech's 77-64 victory over

Presbyterian.

The Yellow Jackets (7-6) led by 15 on Morrow's 3-pointer with 17

minutes remaining, but Presbyterian only trailed by two on Josh

Johnson's 3 with 3:33 remaining.

Tech answered with another 3 by Morrow, a steal and dunk by

D'Andre Bell and a basket by Lawal to make it 71-62 with 1:54 left.

The Blue Hose (1-19), playing their first season in Division One

today before debuting next year in the Big South Conference, have

lost 11 straight games, all on the road.

Pierre Miller had 18 points for Presbyterian, which never led

after Al'lonzo Coleman's free throw made it 19-17.

The Blue Hose were playing their third game in five days against

an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent, losing by seven at North

Carolina State and by 12 at Wake Forest.

Coleman finished with 15 points. Johnson and Pat Kiscaden each

had 12.

Tech was coming off a two-point home loss against Florida State,

falling to 0-1 in the ACC. The Jackets, who have won three of four,

visit Georgia on Wednesday.
