ATLANTA (AP) — Lamar Washington had 20 points, 10 assists and three steals, Akai Fleming and Kowacie Reeves Jr. also scored 20 points, and Georgia Tech beat Lafayette 95-81 on Saturday.
Fleming made 11 of 12 from the free-throw line and Reeves finished with nine rebounds. Peyton Marshall scored 10 for Georgia Tech (7-4).
Mark Butler had 20 points and eight assists, and Caleb Williams also finished with 20 points to go with six assists for Lafayette (3-10). Andrew Phillips scored 15 points and Christian Humphrey-Rembert added 12 and eight rebounds.
Washington and Chas Kelley III each hit a 3-pointer before Marshall threw down a dunk that capped a tiebreaking 12-0 run almost nine minutes into the game and the Yellow Jackets never trailed again.
Phillips hit a 3-pointer and Butler followed with a layup that trimmed Lafayette’s deficit to a point with 14:48 left in the second half. Shareef Jackson’s layup about three minutes later made it 61-59 but Georgia Tech scored 14 of the next 18 points to pull away.
The Yellow Jackets made 30 of 60 from the field, shot 56% (9 of 16) from behind the arc, and hit 87% from the free-throw line, where they outscored Lafayette 26-10.
