Georgia Tech's losing streak reached six games as they fell 83-67 at home to Wake Forest in an ACC matchup. The Yellow Jackets have now lost nine of their last 10 games, including a disappointing California road trip. Georgia Tech's Nique Clifford scored a team-high 15 points, while Wake Forest's Damari Monsanto had a game-high 20 points.

Why it matters

Georgia Tech's struggles this season have been a disappointment for the program, as they look to bounce back from a difficult stretch. The loss to Wake Forest extends their losing skid and raises questions about the team's ability to turn things around in the second half of the ACC schedule.

The details

Georgia Tech fell behind early and was unable to mount a comeback against a Wake Forest team that was also looking to snap a five-game losing streak. The Demon Deacons shot 53% from the field and 46% from three-point range, led by Trevor Spellers' 20 points. Georgia Tech was led by Nique Clifford's 15 points, but the Yellow Jackets couldn't overcome Wake Forest's balanced scoring attack.
