GT @WF, 2/11/23 Pre and Post Game

[awbuzz]

Just a reminder, game is at 5PM, Saturday

From the GT app...

Coming off its first Atlantic Coast Conference win in a month, Georgia Tech goes back on the road this weekend looking to make it two in a row with a 5 p.m. contest against Wake Forest at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Winston-Salem, N.C.

I believe I saw that we are 14 point dogs.

Hopefully we catch fire and pull the upset. Don't need to feed the dumpster fire any more fuel.

 

[Techwood Relict]

Go Jackets!

 

[AUFC]

I will just take 7 remaining games where they don’t look like they have given up on Pastner. The last 2 games have been good efforts so hoping for that, win or lose. Hopefully we can get rolling here and get some momentum for Greensboro.

Guys playing hard. Without both Franklin and Smith on the court at the same time our offense stagnates. We commit too many dumb fouls.

 

[THWG]

**** those refs. Holy **** that was atrocious.

 

[dtm1997]

It's like we snatched Mayfield Ice Cream from the freezer when there's Ben & Jerry's on sale in the next case.

 

[forensicbuzz]

Absolutely jobbed by the officials. Holy cow I haven't seen that blatant of homerism since Duke.

 

[HurricaneJacket]

So close. I feel bad for the boys.

 

[awbuzz]

Well... We beat the spread.

 

[scotts]

Refs suck.

 

[THWG]

13 fouls against us in the second half to their 6 and 2 of those were because they were trying to foul. That's an absolute ****ing joke

24 free throws for them to our 8 is also a ****ing joke.

 

[AUFC]

ACC refs turning yet another game into a coin flip. Swallowed the whistle on a bunch of fouls on the floor when they had double bonus, Appleby shooting foul with 2.5 seconds to go, missed the foul on the Sturdivant inbounds pass, missed Deivon's offensive foul, free timeouts for both coaches for no reason to review how much time was left.

The guys played hard as I was hoping for. Continued good momentum, just hope they can put this game behind them and show up with a 4th straight game of the same effort and energy against VT. Deivon must have read my criticism about him lacking floor general skills - that block on their big man's dunk and then transition 3 assist to Deebo under 4 mins to play was huge.

pastner's demise due to team giving up is over.

 

[ole ball coach]

That was some piss poor officiating the last 30 seconds. The ACC making sure they can get in as many as possible in the NCAA tournament, didn't need a WF loss.
Stinks for our guys, calls should not decide a game in the last couple of possessions. They could have given Smith an AND 1 on his drive.
Terrible!

 

[Steverc]

The Florida Tech game cannot get here fast enough. Weird that we are going to count that game and Florida Tech is showing it as an exhibition.

 

[MidtownJacket]

The arm bar followed by full on tackle of Franklin to end the game without a whistle was the most egregious to me of the many, many bad looks.

So dang frustrating the guys were doing all we can ask for and got hosed.

 

[forensicbuzz]

The kid that recovered the ball after Sturdivant was absolutely mauled slid 2 feet on his butt before calling the timeout. That's traveling. Appleby was never fouled at the other end before that. Absolutely atrocious officiating.

 

[MWBATL]

Competitive. Maybe too little, too late for Pastner, but hey, at least it's something...
