ATLANTA — It took a lot to overshadow a rare Atlantic Coast Conference matchup of brothers, especially when each had a double-double.
Iman Shumpert found a way.
The freshman made a pull-up jumper with one second remaining to lift Georgia Tech to its first ACC victory, a 76-74 upset of No. 6 Wake Forest on Saturday.
Shumpert had a mere five points before tying the score on a basket with 20 seconds remaining and then faking a drive to the basket before stopping to make his winning shot.
"I took what they gave me," the 6-foot-5 Shumpert said. "I knew I could shoot over whoever they put on me. I'm taller than their guards."
Shumpert made his last shot over Jeff Teague, who is 6-2.
"He had a good shot," Teague said. "I actually touched his elbow. I thought he was going to drive all the way to the basket. He made a good move."
Wake Forest (17-2 overall, 4-2 ACC) committed two turnovers in the final 35 seconds and lost to the ACC's last-place team three days after beating No. 1 Duke.
Senior Alade Aminu of Georgia Tech (10-10, 1-6) had 10 points, 13 rebounds and career-high six blocks while younger brother Al-Farouq Aminu led Wake Forest with 17 points, 11 rebounds and five steals.

AUSTIN, Texas — Denis Clemente tied a Big 12 record with 44 points, leading Kansas State to an 85-81 overtime upset of No. 11 Texas, ending the Longhorns' 19-game home winning streak.

Notes
• Nik Raivio of Vancouver, Wash., scored 27 points to lead host Portland to an 84-66 men's victory over No. 22 Saint Mary's. Portland beat a ranked team for the first time since defeating No. 19 Oregon State in 1981.
The Pilots (15-7, 6-1 WCC) are a game behind conference-leading Gonzaga.
It was the first game for Saint Mary's (18-3, 5-2) since guard Patty Mills broke two bones in his right hand Thursday at Gonzaga. Mills is expected to miss about a month.
• Texas Tech coach Pat Knight, son of Hall of Famer Bob Knight, was ejected after running onto the court to protest a call in the Raiders' 82-69 loss to visiting Nebraska.
