RECAP
ATLANTA (AP) _ Shaun Fein's 10-footer off the left baseline with 1.3 seconds remaining gave Georgia Tech an 86-84 victory over Kentucky on Saturday. Fein's basket, Tech's first since the 7:03 mark, came after the Yellow Jackets had blow an 83-70 lead in the final 6:03. Kentucky (3-4) had a 14-0 run to erase the deficit, taking an 84-83 lead on Tayshaun Prince's layup with 1:04 to play. Tech (5-2) tied it on a free throw by Alvin Jones, who had missed three in a row from the line in the final two minutes, with 51 seconds to play. Keith Bogans missed a shot in the lane with a half-minute remaining, Jones secured the rebound and Tech took a timeout with 23 seconds left to set up the game-winning play. The victory snapped Tech's six-game losing streak in the series Kentucky now leads 56-15. Freshman Halston Lane led the Yellow Jackets with a season-high 23 points on 9 of 13 shooting that included 4-of-7 from 3-point range. Fein added 18 points and Tony Akins, who fed Fein for the game-winning shot, finished with 10. Bogans led Kentucky with 22 points, Prince added 20, Saul Smith 13 and Marvin Stone 11. Prince also had a game-high 10 rebounds. Kentucky opened with a 10-2 run, then saw the Jackets come back with a 9-0 burst to take a 27-22 lead. Tech led 52-50 at the half. After a see-saw start to the second, Akins converted a four-point play with 11:21 left to give Tech a 64-63 lead and start a 14-1 run that stretched the lead to 74-64 on Lane's 3-pointer with 8:48 to play. Lane's 3-pointer at the 7:08 makr made it 81-68 before Kentucky started its late rally that erased the deficit and set the stage for Fein's game-winner.
