Georgia Tech

Before you start in on how Georgia Tech was missing B.J. Elder and Ra'Sean Dickey, let me remind you of this: prior to the Carolina game, the average field goal percentage against GT was under 35%. That is ridiculous. This is not a Bobby Cremins Tech team, by which I mean it's not constructed of one or two great players plus 3-4 spare parts to throw in. That kind of team is dead when one of the stars goes down. But you can't play the kind of defense this year's Yellow Jacket do unless you do it as a team.

That is why last night's win looked so good. We didn't shoot the lights out (41%), but the game was never really in question. We scored 91 points against that defense, in large part by making up with rebounds what we lacked in great shooting. When McCants got into foul trouble, you barely noticed. In short, we overran last year's national finalist as if they were just another UNC-W.

Well, people are starting to notice. Bring on Wake Forest. What a show that's going to be.
