It wasn’t pretty, but Georgia Tech did what it had to do to come out victorious Saturday in McCamish Pavilion.

The Yellow Jackets (4-1) held the lead for most contest against Tulane (1-5) and thanks to a standout performance by guard Josh Okogie, Tech was able to pick up a 82-68 win.

Okogie was tremendous all night, but in the second half he really picked it up. He scored 28 of his 38 points after the break and jump started the Jackets early in the second half. Center Ben Lammers was second in scoring for the Jackets as he had 19 points to go along with 12 rebounds and four blocks.
