I hope I am wrong, but this may be CJP's first three game losing steak. That's why the VT loss hurt so badly. Saying that, I love the heart of this team and the improvement throughout the year.

I'm glad I was wrong. This is great! Congrats to this team.

CJP is showing he can coach! Starting to really have me excited about Tech basketball, that hasn't happened in a VERY long time!

I really don't want to say I told you so but there were a lot of people that argued with me during the search and when he was hired about Pastner. The dude and staff he assembled can flat out coach. I am so excited for this program. We are on the way back. That place better be packed on Saturday!!!! Together We Swarm!

 

[BigDaddyBuzz]

and by the way........MJ Walker........Have fun in the locker room with your future team after this one!

 

[gtuberfan]

I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also I saw Tucker head back to the tunnel after the game. Wouldn't it just be amazing to have an insta-commit? I love this team. I love our coach

Hell let's just win the ACC!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!

CJP is practically showing that he would have taken last year's squad to a Sweet Sixteen. I wasn't deeply disappointed in the VT loss that night but now it is starting to sting since the team is clearly trying to make the NIT at this rate.

Game planning has been phenomenal.

I Salute my Yellow Jackets!!!! What a butt whipping!!!!!!

I watched the second half. It's the most impressive half of basketball I've seen from GT in years. Could it be ten years? And I hear the first half may have been better.

Currently .500 in ACC play with 2 top 10 wins. Isnt the big tourney still in the picture?

 

[Beehive]

This team is getting better and better, with each game!!! Remember Bobby only had 5 good players!!!! This team has a pretty could starting five!!! Keep surprising people Yellow Jackets!!!!!!!!

 

[Rammy]

Sorry, but who is Tucker? Trying to find him in the recruiting threads.

 

[OldJacketFan]

10 games left in the regular season, can they split and go 17-13 in CJP's first year? To me that would be nothing short of tremendous!

 

[SecretAgentBuzz]

I think we've found our coach. Its early, but there is already talk of ACC Coach of the Year.

Jordan Tucker of Wheeler High: http://www.myajc.com/sports/college...-means-for-recruiting/DkgWXd9Kng8xKmD3hHGecP/.

Also in the 2017 Hoops Hot List thread: https://gtswarm.com/threads/2017-gt-hoops-hot-list.7121/page-39#post-284787.

(If you've got his first and name, the forum search feature actually works pretty well--better than I expected).

Absolutely. Just keep winning baby.

my impression of the game was this...

we were playing stud body building type athletes with the most awesome hair do's ive seen on a team in a while. i liked all the hair on these guys. all through the first half i expected them to start to go duke on us. raining 3s and jams and to start pulling away. it never happened.

for all their flash and glitz and style fsu had... they got beat by the throw back georgia tech yellow jackets version of the boston celtics today.

wow. just wow.

anybody wonder if these two young men came away impressed with our program and coaching now?

in addition to "Joseph Toppin, a junior small forward from Norcross High who is rated a four-star prospect by 247 Sports" we are also recruiting...

"When Tech plays No. 6 Florida State on Wednesday night at McCamish, Tech is expected to have two other noteworthy guests — Jonesboro High guard M.J. Walker and small forward Jordan Tucker of Wheeler High. By ESPN’s rankings, they’re the two highest-rated in-state players in the 2017 class who have yet to align with a college."

this couldnt have worked out any better recruiting wise.

if we can stick around a 500 record in the acc we have the quality wins to get us a ..... birth.

WOW. just wow.

CONGRATULATIONS TEAM!

Shoulda seen the first half...

I am pretty much at a loss for words. Stunning performance by the staff/team.
No one is gonna want to play this team in the conference tourney.
