ATLANTA, GA – It was another close call at for the Yellow Jackets Saturday at McCamish Pavilion. It ended in another one possession loss. N.C. State guard Trevor Lacy sent Tech fans home disappointed after drilling a 3-point buzzer-beater to give the Wolfpack a dramatic 81-80 overtime victory.

The heartbreak for Tech was evident on Coach Brian Gregory’s face and in his words following the game. “It’s a tough game to lose like that,” he said. “I’m disappointed for the guys because they put in a really good amount of work during this 12-day stretch.”

That 12-day stretch included the season’s lowlight 29-point loss to the Virginia Cavaliers, a backbreaking 2-point loss to Boston College featuring the ACC's last place teams, a commanding bounce back win on the road at #23 Miami, and today’s tense finish against N.C. State.

Facing an early 14-point deficit and N.C. State point guard Cat Barber’s career day from the floor, the Yellow Jackets responded with one of their most complete offensive games of the season.

ATLANTA, GA - The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets basketball team found itself in familiar territory: a chance to win their first ACC game of the year in a tightly contested game. Once again the Yellow Jackets (9-10, 0-7) failed to pull out a win, this time losing 64-62 to Boston College (9-9, 1-5) Sunday afternoon at McCamish Pavilion.

Despite running out to a quick 14-7 lead just five minutes into the game, the Yellow Jackets founding themselves trailing by 10 just over five minutes into the second half. During that 20+ minute stretch the Jackets hit what has become a characteristic lull, scoring only 16 points and stagnating for extended periods of time in their half-court offense.

The Eagles took advantage. Flowing what Marcus Georges-Hunt estimated as "90%" of Boston College's offense through star shooting guard Olivier Hanlan, Georgia Tech could not keep pace.

MIAMI GARDENS, FLA - In a game featuring the second highest ranked teams from two power five conferences, the SEC's Mississippi State Bulldogs (10-3, 6-2) were no match for the ACC's Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (11-3, 6-2) Wednesday night in south Florida. With only minutes to spare prior to the New Year, the Yellow Jackets capped their remarkable 2014 season with a convincing 49-34 victory and Orange Bowl trophy.

Following Georgia Tech junior cornerback Chris Milton's interception on the game's opening series, the Yellow Jackets converted the early turnover into 7 points with just 2:22 of game time elapsed. The early score gave the Jackets a lead they would never relinquish.

For the entirety of the game Georgia Tech took what the Mississippi State defense gave them. During the first half that yielded a balanced 134 rushing and 125 passing yards. Highlights included a 41-yard touchdown catch by senior Darren Waller, who in one half alone produced his first career 100-yard receiving game.
