ATLANTA, GA - Powered by a 40-point second half, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (8-2) overcame an 8-point halftime deficit en route to a 65-60 home victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores (7-3) Saturday afternoon at McCamish Pavilion.
The Yellow Jackets struggled offensively in the first half, converting just 28% of their field goal attempts and struggling to find their rhythm against a variety of defensive sets from the visiting Commodores. For most of the half the Jackets defense was about as sharp as its offense, allowing Vanderbilt to convert 55% of their field goal tries, including three 3-pointers.
All in all a lackadaisical effort from the Yellow Jackets allowed the Commodores to go in to the halftime break up 33-25. The visitors from Nashville had control of the game and Tech had few, if any, answers.
The script flipped in the second half...
