ACC Tourney

[OG-T]

If Franklin would have had a career at Tech instead of just one year, he would have been a GT all-time team-first player. Even with just one year, he made an enormous and memorable impact for the diehards on this board.
Great to see a win that we didn’t score 70+. Gutted this one out!

How long can we ride these 5 guys?

Great win!!!!

Great win! These guys have been fun to watch lately. My brother is a big Pitt fan, so Tech, go win this thing tomorrow!

A part of me died when he missed that

A part of all of died .... then got resurrected with the offensive rebound.

Great win!!!!

Nice of you to join the ice cream party.

After reading all the earlier snide, negative comments, I’m sure there is about to be a flood of apologies coming. Or maybe not, given the sources

Nope. Time to double-down.

I have an unprovable theory that had Matthew Cleveland not gotten hurt, we would have lost. Therefore, today's win doesn't count, the ACCT isn't real, and there cannot be a legitimate tournament champion.

12 assists to 5 turnovers AS A TEAM.

On the CJP show last night, he mentioned that this team has had quite a few games with 5 or fewer turnovers. Protecting the ball is key and they are continuing to do a great job.

It will never cease to amaze me how morons rush to make themselves look stupid.

Anyways, amazing game. Sucks I wasn't able to watch it but glad to see us pull one out even when not playing our best. Team has really grown up before us this year as earlier in the year we wouldn't have had a chance to make a comeback and likely would have just gone through the motions to a close loss. Happy for the guys.

Went from doing the chop at halftime to smashing the TV and stomping the jersey in 20 mins.

Winning is so much more fun than losing.

*gasp*

Does this theory apply to the BC win when the one guy got hurt too?

I watched the first half and was disappointed in the way we were playing. I had some things to do and missed the last 6 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised for the win and very happy for the team. They didn't fold when they could have. They have some fight in them.

What a gutsy performance. I thought their length ( inside and out) would doom us. Franklin again proved invaluable. Why wasn't he starting on day 1?

Yes. We never actually win. We get an asterisk.

Franklin was getting 30 minutes by game 3 of the year.

I like Terry a lot, but I’ve never seen a player have a higher missed dunk to dunk attempt ratio.

 

[jbix80]

Miles Kelly is really developing into a big time scorer. Takes some quick, long 3’s at times, but he has been great during this stretch. Sturdy continues to take care if the ball. Deebo does so many little things to help us win. He takes a charge every game it seems. Of course, the two new transfers for this year are really going their thing!

 

[gte447f]

Only Kelly can beat a defender off the dribble. Only Franklin has any quickness besides Kelly. We are slow as well

Funny, I think the exact opposite when Kelly has the ball on the perimeter. I think, “well, Kelly’s not going to get by anybody, so he might as well just pass the ball and keep it moving.” I really like Kelly. He’s a great shooter. But he’s not the attacking player I thought he might be. He is a straight line driver. It’s hard to beat good defenders off the dribble as a straight line driver. There’s a reason he scores most (almost all) of his points on outside shots. I hope you are right, and he does develop into a little bit more of downhill player.

Oh, and great win!

GO JACKETS!
