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.
