ATLANTA (AP) -Freshman Brian Oliver scored career-high 18 points and Gani Lawal added 13 to help Georgia Tech win its fifth straight game in a 79-53 victory over Southern Cal on Saturday night.
The Yellow Jackets (6-1) began the second half on a 23-8 run that ended on Oliver’s two free throws, his eighth consecutive point, with 12:02 remaining.
USC (2-4) took its seventh straight road loss and its third consecutive overall after failing to score until Alex Stepheson’s layup made it 19-2 at the 12:59 mark of the first half.
The Trojans ended a 20-6 run when Nikola Vucevic’s tip-in 7 minutes later cut the lead to 25-22. But Georgia Tech freshman Mfon Adofia hit a pair of free throws to help push the Yellow Jackets ahead by 13 in the final minute of the first half.
