ATLANTA (AP) Jose Alvarado scored 24 points and made two dazzling steals in the closing seconds to lead Georgia Tech to a 64-58 upset victory over NC State on Saturday.

The Yellow Jackets (9-11, 4-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) ended a five-game losing streak at home and won for the first time at home in league play this season.

It was an ugly loss for NC State (14-6, 5-4) after a dramatic victory three days ago at Virginia. Snapping a three-game winning streak, the Wolfpack got no points from senior C.J. Bryce, who went 0 for 4 from the field and didn't take a shot in the second half. NC State allowed 20 points on 14 turnovers.

Alvardo won it by himself at the end. He hit two free throws after taking the ball away when Bryce was trying to pass it to Markell Johnson along the right sideline and drew a quick foul. He followed by stealing the ball from Johnson and hitting a layup at the buzzer.

Georgia Tech played without its leading scorer as Michael Devoe appeared to be sidelined by a sore foot.

After NC State's Devon Daniels gave his team a 53-50 lead with a long turn-around jumper on the right baseline just before the shot clock expired, Johnson took the ball to the rim for an easy layup in an offensive set to make it a five-point game. Center James Banks, though, tipped in a putback to give the Jackets a 56-55 lead with 2:37 remaining, and Alvarado drove the lane out of an offensive set for a layup that made it 58-55 at the 1:52 mark.

In the final minute, Braxton Beverly hit a jumper from the right wing to tie it before Banks' putback gave the Jackets a 60-58 lead.

After missing nine of its first 10 shots and later trailing by 11 at 10:55 mark of the first half, NC State tied it on two free throws and led 30-28 and a reverse layup by Johnson. The Wolfpack were up by one at intermission.
