Thank you to the seniors

[Peacone36]

A truly fun season to be a GTMBB fan. Little to nothing was expected of these guys and they overcame all odds and re-energized an apathetic fan base. Maybe not the most talented group but they didn't lack in heart or desire.

Thank you fellas.

I agree, probably one of my five fav GT basketball teams to follow. This team improved so much from beginning to end and they worked so hard.

Indeed. The guys clearly bought in and worked hard all year. Tip o' the cap to them.

What a kind, thoughtful thread. Have you been hacked, @Peacone36 ?

Thank you fellas.

A lot less has been accomplished with past GT teams that had more talent.

Great job by our seniors this year. Helped put down solid foundation for the new staff to work with going forward.

Darn DTM you beat me to the posting. Agree with everything the coach said.

This has been such a fun ride! It's a true testament of the hard work our players put in and their unwavering determination and fight when faced with adversities. They've shown a lot of guts this year. Very proud of the team!

Class act...coach and team.

I couldn't have said it better than CJP said. Coaching changes are hard - they change your routine, your plays, your mojo, your schemes...everything. But all these guys rolled up their sleeves and did the hard work. And THEY brought the crowd back. THEY re-energized our program. THEY set the all-time record for home wins at 17. THEY nearly led the entire nation in defensive efficiency.

Especially to the seniors - Q, Hayward, Heath - your contribution and your representation of our Institute will never be forgotten. We're going to look back in several years at how our program turned around and remember how it all started with you guys.

CJP did exactly what needed to be done ... brought the excitement back to GT Basketball.

An incredible season from GTMBB. I will miss this team. They fought so hard and gave every ounce of effort they had all season. There were definitely ups and downs but I was happy to be along for the ride. I'm so proud of how much effort we gave and how much we improved from beginning to end. The staff did a fabulous job coaching up the team and had them believing and fighting together as 1Team. Thank you to ALL the seniors REGARDLESS of on the court impact. They all contributed to the success this team had. I will give a special shout out to Q, Corey, and Rand - their effort and passion helped instill a great culture and attitude for the future of this program. I am very optimistic of the future of this program with this staff and Pastner at the helm. Can't wait for future GT basketball!!

Thanks to the Seniors for going far beyond the expectations that were set for you in the Preseason! You gave us a very fun season that brought excitement back to Georgia Tech basketball that hadn't been there in more than a decade. Good luck whatever you choose to do in the future!

Now burn those butt-ugly uniforms and never wear anything so hideous again.

GT's only road uniforms should be the all gold uniforms

Lammers even said postgame that they look better and play better in gold. He even thought about asking them to change their mind.

 

[GTrob21]

Excited about the future. I'm hopeful we can land some our targets!

 

[bigsands]

Much respect to group that stayed through coaching change and competed. The seniors come out looking good and they did a great service to the program. Best of luck to these young men.

What a pleasure to watch a team get better throughout the season.

As a fan - all you can ask is the coaching staff to get the "maximum" out of the team's talent. How can anyone argue we should have done more?

I am happy to have our basketball program back!

Who made the choice? The team? I hope whoever did has learned a lesson.
