Georgia Tech (11/24/17)

[CMJ]

Hopefully we can stay competitive.

NT 3 ---- GT 2

 

15:54 to go

 

 

Mostly forcing the Jackets to shoot from the outside.  Working so far.

GT 9 ----- NT 7

 

11:11 to go

 

We've been careless with the ball, but otherwise playing pretty well so far.

On FSSW too. Seems to me a common denominator in watching some games is the decision making has to get better. Some of these guys just need good coaching, which they haven't had. Stuff like not paying attention to a ball being passed leading to turnovers or passing into crowded lanes. I think that stuff goes away the longer McCasland has with them.

GT 12 ----- NT 10 (maybe)

 

7:36 to go

 

Waiting to see if our last bucket will count or not.  Still playing pretty well.

What conference are these refs from?

That was clearly a foul on the GT players on Woolridge's drive and the GT player was moving on the offensive foul a couple possessions before.

 

[Green Lantern]

Mean Green hanging tough so far. Pleased with the rebounding for the most part.

Really gotta love the way we are hanging in there.  Some nicely played defense so far for us (though the Jackets are helping us by missing some open looks too).

[UNTBill]

Nice

[UNTBill]

We need to stop this Alvarado kid

[Green Lantern]

Playing hard but we’ve got to cut down on the turnovers in the 2nd half.

[CMJ]

Georgia Tech 22 --- NT 19

 

Halftime

 

 

Overall, pleased with the effort so far.

[MeanGreenDan]

We're lucky that GT can't hit the broadside of a barn.

Hopefully we can keep them cold.

[CMJ]

GT 29 ---- NT 23

 

15: 47 to go

 

 

Not liking the way we're playing to start the half (even though we're only -3).  Hopefully we can shore things up.

[CMJ]

GT 39 -----  NT 28

 

11:50 to go

 

Yellow Jackets starting to find the bucket and we can't stop turning it over.  Doesn't help that we have already used all out timeouts either.

[Andrew]

I haven’t been watching but the box score doesn’t look half bad for being on the road in ACC territory. 

[CMJ]

GT 45 ------ NT 35

 

7:06 to go

 

Hanging around!

[meanrob]

My first look at this team and we need someone who can run handle the ball. 

Edit: Oops, just meant handle but if they could run that would help too.

Final

 

If we could keep our hands on the ball we might have had a real shot.

[Andrew]

That got real sloppy near the end. Too many turnovers attacking the basket. It felt like we were playing to keep it close and not win. This team has a lot of potential and will be ready come conference play. 

[GMG24]

This team will be just fine, the defense we played gives me plenty of hope.  Offense was unable to pass around the giant they had in the paint.  Smart needs a few set plays to get open shots just to get him going IMO. Our defense was really solid all game.  Offensively, guys looked like they were pressing to me, instead of taking what defense gave them.  Come conference play I think we will all be pleasantly surprised.  The slow it down game was different for me, as I though Gmac was more of an uptempo guy.  Guess he knew what he was doing.  20+ turnovers and only lost by 14.
