Offering a depleted rotation of only six players, Miami was flat-out dominated by Georgia Tech on Saturday afternoon as the Hurricanes have not seen a win in the Atlantic Coast Conference since its close win over Duke almost three weeks ago.
Miami guards Chris Lykes (ankle) and Harlond Beverly (back) remain sidelined for likely until the end of the regular season, while leading scorer Isaiah Wong headed to the locker room with an ankle injury and did not return in the second half. The Piscataway, N.J., native has averaged over 17 points on the year.
Senior guard Elijah Olaniyi, a Stony Brook transfer, scored 18 points and logged seven rebounds, sophomore forward Anthony Walker added 16, though Georgia Tech (11-8, 7-6 ACC) overwhelmed Miami (7-13, 3-12 ACC) 87-60 on 57 percent shooting at the Watsco Center.
