Although their season came to an end Saturday, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets did not close this campaign without a battle.<\/p>\n

However, despite enjoying a lead at the half, Georgia Tech could not hold on, as host Clemson rallied for a 79-76 victory. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Yellow Jackets (11-20, 2-16 ACC) finished their season with 12 straight losses and suffered their first 20-loss season since the 2021-22 season (12-20).<\/p>\n

Jaeden Mustaf led Georgia Tech with 28 points. Kowacie Reeves Jr. added 20 in his final collegiate game and Akai Fleming scored 18 for the Yellow Jackets.<\/p>\n

Butta Johnson and Nick Davidson each scored 15 points for Clemson (22-9, 12-6 ACC), which erased a six-point halftime deficit and outscored Georgia Tech 46-37 in the second half to secure the win. The Tigers had four players score in double figures and closed the game at the free-throw line in the final seconds.<\/p>\n

Georgia Tech (11-20, 2-16 ACC) led 39-33 at halftime. Clemson responded with a quick run to erase the deficit. A 3-pointer by Johnson and a layup from Carter Welling helped tie the game at 47 midway through the half.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The teams traded the lead several times before Clemson pulled ahead. Johnson drilled a 3-pointer with 1:38 remaining to extend the Tigers\u2019 lead to 75-70 and they sealed the victory with free throws in the final seconds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Welling added 13, and Ace Buckner finished with 10 for Clemson.<\/p>\n
