A brief look at Georgia Tech’s victory against Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne

How the game was won: The Yellow Jackets (3-0) took control with a 12-1 run in the second half for a 70-58 lead with 3:36 to play. That was Tech's largest lead, and IPFW (2-1) never got closer than seven points the rest of the way. Jackets swingman Marcus George-Hunt scored eight of his 13 points over the final eight minutes of the game.

Notable: Tech guard Travis Jorgenson was back in the lineup after sitting out Tuesday's victory over Alabama A&M because of soreness in his surgically repaired right knee. Jorgenson finished with eight points in 13 minutes while shooting 3-for-4 from the field.

Number: 5. The Yellow Jackets have started the season 3-0 just five times since their Final Four season of 2003-04.

Next: Marquette, Nov. 27, HP Field House, Orlando Classic tournament. The Warriors (1-1) of the Big East opened the season with a 79-63 home victory over Tennessee-Martin before losing 74-63 at No. 20 Ohio State on Tuesday.
