Burton scores 26 points and helps lead Notre Dame rally past Georgia Tech 71-68
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Markus Burton scored 26 points, Braeden Shrewsberry added 15 and Notre Dame took the lead for good late and held off Georgia Tech for a 71-68 win on Tuesday night.
Naithan George scored 20 points, reserve Duncan Powell added 18 and Baye Ndongo 10 for Georgia Tech.
The Fighting Irish (10-10, 4-5 ACC) have now won three of four following a four-game losing streak.
Burton's 3-pointer with 1:49 remaining gave Notre Dame the lead for good and was part of a 13-0 run that started with 5:23 left and ended with 18 seconds remaining. Shrewsberry made a 3 and Burton sank consecutive 3s as part of the run.
George's jump shot with 5:35 left gave the Yellow Jackets a 62-55 advantage, but they failed to score until Lance Terry's layup with 13 seconds remaining reduced their deficit to 68-64. Shrewsberry made 3 of 4 foul shots to seal it.
The squads played to 37-all in the first half.
Georgia Tech (9-12, 3-7) - which has lost five of six - hosts No. 21 Louisville on Saturday. The Irish travel to Coral Gables, Florida, on Saturday to face Miami.
