ATLANTA (AP) — Duncan Powell and Javian McCollum each set a season-high with 21 points and they combined for five of Georgia Tech’s eight 3-pointers in an 86-75 victory over Notre Dame on Tuesday.
Georgia Tech shot 61% from the field in the first half to build a 43-24 lead as Notre Dame was just 9 of 32 (28%). The Fighting Irish’s 24 first-half points are tied for the fewest allowed by Georgia Tech in an opening period this season.

Notre Dame had runs of 11-0 and 11-3 in the second half and got as close as 69-66 with 5:53 remaining. But the Irish would not get closer.
Georgia Tech won for just the third time in the last 13 meetings with Notre Dame — a stretch that included losing all three matchups last season.
Lance Terry added 14 points, Naithan George had 11 and Baye Ndongo scored 10 for Georgia Tech (7-7, 1-2 ACC). The Yellow Jackets had a 44-15 advantage in bench points.
Tae Davis led Notre Dame (7-6, 1-1) with 27 points and seven rebounds. Matt Allocco had 15 points and seven assists and Braeden Shrewsberry scored 12 on four 3-pointers.
Notre Dame’s only lead was at 12-11 early in the first half.

Former Arizona Wildcats great Damon Stoudamire is out as head coach of Georgia Tech after three seasons at school.
Georgia Tech made the decision Sunday to fire Stoudamire, one day after the Yellow Jackets finished the regular season with an 11-20 record and a 2-16 mark in the ACC. Greg Gary will serve as interim coach. Georgia Tech, which finished last in the ACC, did not qualify for the league tournament.
Georgia Tech owes Stoudamire $2.6 million over the next two years, ESPN reported.
The Yellow Jackets showed promise in Stoudamire’s first two seasons. Georgia Tech finished 14-18 in 2023-24, highlighted by a win over Duke. In 2024-25 the Yellow Jackets went 17-17 and made the first round of the NIT.

Georgia Tech was a disaster this season, however, losing its last 12 games.
Stoudamire was hired by Georgia Tech while serving as an assistant on the Boston Celtics staff. Prior to that, he spent five years as head coach at Pacific, where he went 71-77. Stoudamire previously served as an assistant at Memphis and Arizona.
He is the second ex-UA player that Georgia Tech fired as its basketball coach. Josh Pastner, now at UNLV, went 109-114 in Atlanta from 2016-23.
In 2021 Arizona interviewed Stoudamire for the Wildcats head coaching job. The UA hired Gonzaga assistant Tommy Lloyd instead.
Stoudamire played four seasons at Arizona (1991-95), taking the Wildcats to the 1993-94 Final Four and earning First-Team All-American honors the following year as a senior.
While most states’ minimum wage rates exceed federal law, the Peach State has fallen behind.

Georgia proudly claims the title of No. 1 state for business for the 12th year running. But if Georgia is such a great place to do business, why are so many of its workers struggling to get by?
On January 1, 2026, 19 states raised their minimum wage rates. California went to $16.90. New York City hit $17. Georgia? Georgia kept its state minimum wage right where it’s been for decades: $5.15 an hour.
