SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Markus Burton scored 26 points, Braeden Shrewsberry added 15 and Notre Dame Fighting Irish took the lead for good late and held off Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets for a 71-68 win on Tuesday night.

Naithan George scored 20 points, reserve Duncan Powell added 18 and Baye Ndongo 10 for Georgia Tech.

The Fighting Irish (10-10, 4-5 ACC) have now won three of four following a four-game losing streak.

Burton's 3-pointer with 1:49 remaining gave Notre Dame the lead for good and was part of a 13-0 run that started with 5:23 left and ended with 18 seconds remaining. Shrewsberry made a 3 and Burton sank consecutive 3s as part of the run.

George's jump shot with 5:35 left gave the Yellow Jackets a 62-55 advantage, but they failed to score until Lance Terry's layup with 13 seconds remaining reduced their deficit to 68-64. Shrewsberry made 3 of 4 foul shots to seal it.

The squads played to 37-all in the first half.

Georgia Tech (9-12, 3-7) - which has lost five of six - hosts No. 21 Louisville on Saturday. The Irish travel to Coral Gables, Florida, on Saturday to face Miami.
