ATLANTA, GA - The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (1-0) tipped off their season with a bang against rival Georgia Bulldogs (0-1) Friday night at McCamish Pavilion. Hustling out to an early 14-5 lead the Jackets never allowed the Bulldogs to get within striking distance en route to an 80-73 statement victory.
Competing against a Georgia team projected by many to make NCAA tournament, the Jackets responded to the challenge in resounding fashion. Tech's starting five of Travis Jorgenson, Marcus Georges-Hunt, Quinton Stephens, Charles Mitchell, and Demarco Cox energized the crowd from the opening tip. Mitchell and Cox dominated the paint from the get-go, finishing with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks respectively.
Stephens, however, may have been the star of the show. click here to read the rest and comment[/url]
