[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 286554, member: 2458"] Place was really loud - and like others said, nice to see it full and 90 percent GT fans ... and full student section way before tip! Things which impressed me today - how well we attacked the ND zone. A couple bad possessions early against it, but adjusted and had clear plan of how to attack it - which we've not seen GT do in many a year. tells me we have chance against Syracuse even if we don't shoot/hit many 3's. Got many quality looks/shots against it - flashing a guard (Heath/Jax/Okogie to high post with Ben down low and wing in the corner for kick out 3). Team also did not panic - would have been easy to do a couple times, never lost composure .... kept grinding/playing their system. Also, the man defense was good - ND has such a high basketball IQ and good perimeter players that they were getting too many easy looks against the zones ... man-man was what we needed to play most of the game. Heath has played several really strong games in a row - unsung hero of this stretch. His assist/TO ratio has been fantastic of late - running the team well, scoring a few points when opportunity presents itself. Cory played good D all day - he is liability on offense, but did great job getting over/around screens and grabbed more rebounds that expected. Agree with comments that CJP did not trust Moore to give quality minutes (he has been great or bad of late - not steady) - and the way Cory was defending and Tadric scoring sitting him made sense. Pace was such that neither team needed to go deep on bench - more like NCAA tournament game (no fast breaks allowed - half court everything). The negatives - low energy/focus early on - found it mid first half. Many bad turnovers. Missed too many FT. Okogie had an off day, but Jackson covered for that. Lammers played well overall but had several bad turnovers and bad decisions late (was fatigue an issue playing the entire game?). From my seat (low in corner behind ND bench), had perfect angle on the last play - I saw Okogie out ahead and in my head I said look at Okogie - great pass with not as much room to get it to him as it may have looked on TV, and led him perfectly. Nine ACC games left, plus Tusculum (which I think we will beat more handily than Shorter). Two very tough road games (ND/Syracuse), the rest are all against teams behind us in the standings - and could win decent number of them if they keep playing like this (even the road games at Clemson, Wake, and Miami). Getting to 9, maybe 10 wins in league play is realistic - and I NEVER thought I would think or say that back in November. [/QUOTE]

How many points did Georgia Tech score against Cumberland in 1916?
