James Johnson had 24 points and 11 rebounds and No. 8 Wake Forest avenged its worst loss of the season by holding off Georgia Tech, 87-69, on Wednesday night. Less than three weeks after the Yellow Jackets stunned the Demon Deacons for their only Atlantic Coast Conference win of the season, Wake Forest saw a 23-point lead cut to five before pulling away behind Johnson's dominance inside.
