[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 294281, member: 1776"] Lot of good articles in the AJC on the game and the team today. If you haven't listened to it Pastner's post game audio for this game is fantastic. He made his case for the NCAA He thanked the media who came out to cover the team every game. He mentioned that after the NC ST game last week he felt they looked tired so he changed the schedule for this game, with just a light walk through, no film study. He thought it helped last night. also mentioned he made sure to get the guys a few minutes rest, even mentioned he took a TO just so Okogie could rest for a minute because he knew he was tired and Pastner was not going to take him out of the game later. Mentioned how great the fans and the students were and how he wants it to be the hardest arena in the ACC to play in. Mentioned again he learned this season how important a good team is rather than good individuals. Gave alot of credit to the players and to his assts (who he said he hired a great staff). [MEDIA=twitter]836797925002993670[/MEDIA] “The crowd’s been great,” Pastner said. “I think what it shows is what the city, people at Georgia Tech, fans – they appreciate teams that move the ball and play hard and give a great effort.
