Georgia Tech Tournament News
Posted by: Dom Webber in Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, tags: ACC Tournament, GT BasketballIt’s true, as I posted earlier, that the two games between Virginia and Georgia Tech were pretty close. But I read a story in the AJC just a minute or two ago that had me perplexed. Matt Winkeljohn, you might be crazy…
Winkeljohn’s article goes into the GT/Virgina match-up and talks about how both teams, even thought they are the #7 and #10 seeds, could surprise some people in the ACC tournament.
The Cavaliers spent much of the season in last place, but have won four of their past six games, and Tech won three of its past four — losing only on a 3-point shot to Virginia with four seconds left.
Virginia’s first-team All-ACC point guard Sean Singletary is as healthy as he’s been, and the 15-14 Cavs — like the 14-16 Jackets — are playing as if they have nothing to lose. They might, however, lose an NIT bid. Tech?
“As much as we’re saying we’re playing with more intensity and energy, Georgia Tech can say the same thing,” said Virginia’s Dave Leitao.
Maybe crazy was a tough word to use as the Yellow Jackets have won three of their last four in ACC competition. But what about the seven games prior where the only won once. Add those together with their last four and Tech has only four wins in their last 11 games.
No matter which teams keeps “rolling” after their mini hot streaks of late, there is a huge obstacle in the way come Friday evening. Are either of these two teams hot enough to roll through Duke?
