Josh Okogie scored a season-high 30 points as Georgia Tech upset No. 15 Miami 64-54 on Wednesday night.

Dewan Huell, with 13 points, was the only player to score in double figures for visiting Miami (12-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference).

It’s been a tough start to the season for the Yellow Jackets (7-7, 11), but they earned a signature win by holding tough against a Miami defense that ranked in the top five nationally in several defensive categories.
