Chattanooga’s Ridge McKeither, center, battles for the ball with Georgia Tech’s Glen Rice, right, and Lance Storrs. Georgia Tech won, 95-64, Monday in Knoxville, Tenn.

Chattanooga, Tenn. ? Georgia Tech aced its first true road test of the season.

Gani Lawal scored 29 points to lead the 22nd-ranked Yellow Jackets to a 95-64 victory over Chattanooga on Monday night.

Derrick Favors had 14 points, Glen Rice added 11, and Mfon Udofia and Maurice Miller had 10 each for the Yellow Jackets (7-1), who ventured about two hours from campus.

“They were pretty physical,” Lawal said. “We scouted them and we knew they would double hard so we had to be smart, take our time and attack it.”

The Yellow Jackets shot 60.8 percent from the field, including 43.8 percent from three-point range, and finished with a 35-29 rebound advantage.

Georgia Tech scored 30 points in the paint and had 37 points off turnovers while the Mocs had a total of 30 points from both categories.

“We knew we weren’t going to score that ball inside,” Chattanooga coach John Shulman said. “That’s two lottery picks down there in Lawal and Favors and I’m not talking about the Tennessee Lottery.

“We hung in there a bit, but they’re just too good.”

Ty Patterson scored 22 points, one off his career high, on 8-of-14 shooting for the Mocs (5-5).

Vanderbilt transfer Keegan Bell added 13 on 5-of-17 shooting.

“They’re big and physical,” Bell said. “They don’t have just one monster down there, they have a couple. We were going down to double, but they’d turn around and score before we could get there.”

The Mocs were hosting a ranked team for just the second time in 15 years.
