Ra’Sean Dickey scored a season-high 21 points, Javaris Crittenton made two key baskets down the stretch and Georgia Tech held on for a rare win over No. 11 Duke, beating the Blue Devils, 74-63, on Wednesday night at Atlanta.

Duke (13-3, 0-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) lost its second game in a row, failing to rebound from a home loss to Virginia Tech, and is off to its worst start in the ACC since 1996.

That same season also had been the last time Georgia Tech (12-4, 1-2 ACC) defeated the Blue Devils at home. Duke had won 21 of 22 over its conference rival.
