Still traveling so won’t catch this one live. These guys beat us 3 times last year so we’ll be looking for some revenge. I believe they will still be out Markus Burton who was injured a month ago.

let me be the shootyhoops version of @ClydeBrick

GAMEDAY!!!

good morning to the few people in this forum who still give a damn about basketball. (Although, we still care more than Georgia even with the season they’re off to) It is GAMEDAY and the beginning of a long ACC stretch that will last the next three months.

Our BasketBees take on the team in conference who has nearly an identical color scheme. Pitt, you may ask? No, they reverted back to mustard yellow a few years ago. ”Oh no.” Your heart exclaims. That’s right, Tech is taking on Notre Dame. Why is your heart upset? It’s upset because ALL BUT FOUR TIMES TECH AND ND HAVE PLAYED SINCE THE IRISH JOINED THE CONFERENCE, THIS GAME HAS BEEN DECIDED BY TEN POINTS OR LESS. So it’s very likely that this game takes a few years off your lifespan. Tech went 0-3 against ND and all of them were decided by four points or less. (That needs to be motivation for CDS and the guys)

That said, ND isn’t that impressive on paper. They’re 7-5 (1-0 ACC) with a loss to Elon and also lost to Georgia (our lone common opponent so far) by 21. Their most impressive wins so far are Syracuse (their lone conference game to this point) and Georgetown (who are 11-2, but are likely to slow down when they begin Big East play)

Tech is coming off of a nice win against Alabama A&M, thing is, Alabama A&M is a team who almost anyone could beat. Tech looked good in the win, but this will be a step up in competition. Sure, it’s not Duke or UNC but any ACC game is a test of some kind.

COME ON DOWN TO MCCAMISH IF YOU CAN! If you can’t, ACCN has you covered. You can even be old school and listen to Andy and Randy on the airwaves if you wish.

Let‘s go Jackets!

Have to sit through a flight in airplane mode in a few mins stressed about whether we come out flat in the second half. If we lose this game, it’s going to be because they have owned the offensive glass.

Hoping we can keep it up though. The first half gave me some confidence that we will be okay in weak ACC play.

Great job hanging on! Ndongo is so important to us. He has to figure out how to play without fouling, especially dumb fouls. Personally, I thought CDS should have taken him out after his third foul, but he didn’t and he picked up his fourth shortly after. When he came back in, you could tell on the offensive end especially. Powell stepped up big time today. McCollum could have won us a couple more games this year. Overall, I’m glad to finally beat ND.

D'n' UP! Now that man on man high energy D we saw in the first half is something we can hang our hat on.

Best defensive game I've seen Nait George play.

Haven't seen the stats yet but it looked like they crushed us on the their offensive boards.

Gotta get Ndongo un-corked.

Let's see if we can now stack some good effort games.
