Marcus Georges-Hunt converted a four-point play with less than a second remaining to give Georgia Tech a 74-71 victory over Boston College on Thursday in Atlanta.
Olivie Hanlan scored 21 points for BC (6-18, 2-9 ACC), and his baseline jumper with three seconds left put the Eagles in front by one.
After a BC timeout, George-Hunt (15 points) took the inbounds pass and drove down the right side of the court, getting a pick from center Daniel Miller near midcourt. Georges-Hunt pulled up for a 3-pointer and got a touch foul on Lonnie Jackson as the ball fell through the net. Georges-Hunt hit the ensuing free throw for a three-point cushion.
Joe Rahon missed a desperation 3-point attempt at the buzzer.
Miller led Georgia Tech (13-12, 4-8) with 18 points. Kammeon Holsey added 15 points and nine rebounds for the Yellow Jackets, who outrebounded BC 36-19.
Ryan Anderson contributed 13 points, four assists and four steals for the Eagles, who led 35-34 at the break and maintained a lead for most of the second half. The margin was five with just over two minutes left when Holsey hit a layup to draw Georgia Tech within three at 69-66.
Two free throws from Georges-Hunt with 1:09 left got Tech within a point, and his layup with 22 seconds remaining put his team ahead, 70-69, and set up the dramatic finish. Georgia Tech closed the game on a 10-2 run.
The game was supposed to be played Wednesday night but was postponed a day due to the winter storm that hit the Southeastern United States.
