Georgia Tech snaps 7-game skid, beats NC State 78-75
ATLANTA -- Through the pain of a winless February, Georgia Tech didn't give up on a season going nowhere.
Finally, a long-awaited reward came with the end of the regular season only two days away.
Tadric Jackson scored 22 points, Ben Lammers added 20, including eight straight late in the game, and Georgia Tech beat North Carolina State 78-75 on Thursday night to end its seven-game losing streak.
"For us it validated that we are getting better," said Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner.
Georgia Tech (12-18, 5-12 Atlantic Coast Conference) had lost 11 of 12 before taking its first win since beating Syracuse on Jan. 31.
