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.

Kansas State beats

No. 11 Texas in OT

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.

Clemente tied the conference mark set last season by former Wildcat Michael Beasley. Clemente, a transfer from Miami, went 6 of 6 on three-pointers.

Other men's game

Eastern Washington 52

Anthony Johnson, a former standout at Stadium High School in Tacoma and Yakima Valley Community College, had 20 points and six assists to help the Grizzlies (13-9, 7-3 Big Sky) beat the Eagles (9-13, 3-7).

Andy Genao led Eastern with 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Women's games

Gonzaga 109,

at San Diego 73

Heather Bowman of Spokane scored 28 points and Vivian Frieson contributed a career-high 23 points as the Zags (19-4, 7-0 West Coast) overwhelmed the Toreros (12-9, 3-4). Frieson, a junior, is a graduate of Garfield High School.

Kiva Herman, a graduate of Hudson's Bay High in Vancouver, Wash., led San Diego with 22 points in a game watched by 452.

Montana 81,

at Eastern Washington 56

Mandy Morales scored 28 points on 11-for-14 shooting as the Grizzlies (18-4, 7-1 Big Sky) pulled away from the Eagles (9-12, 4-4). Montana led 31-26 at halftime.

Nicole Scott led Eastern with 15 points.

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.
