ATLANTA, GA – In a season defined by fits and starts, Saturday’s performance by Georgia Tech fit the script once again. During three different 4+ minute stretches the Yellow Jackets were held scoreless. They started the second half on a 15-2 run. In the end the Jackets fell victim to another unsettling trend, losing its 10th ACC game by 7 points or less, this time by a final score of 57-53 to Florida State.
“It’s a bitter pill to swallow. There’s no doubt about it with some of the efforts we've given,” said head coach Brian Gregory following the game.
Looking at today’s loss Tech has no one to blame but themselves. The Jackets were undone during closing time, allowing Florida State to close out both halves on 9-0 runs.
Reflecting on the Seminoles' first half run Gregory offered that “it was the only four minutes that we didn't play with the physicality, toughness, and intensity level that you need to play with when you play a Florida State team.”
