23 seconds. Chance of victory is extremely low but lets say they make 1/2 and you make a 3. Now its a 4 point game with 10 seconds. Its college basketball. Players make mistakes. Maybe they turn it over on the inbounds and you make a basket and now its a 2 point game with 4 seconds. Very very little chance we win that game by fouling with 23 seconds but that's too much time left to concede.

And if they miss the free throws, game on. I mean how much time was left? At least 15 seconds.

That 2008-09 team really wasn't built for March. Every game in the NCAAT was a struggle. UNC was head and shoulders better than everyone else that year. They trounced Nova & MSU in the Final Four.

There's a number of things I would point directly to as to why we lost this game without blaming the loss on losing Dunn.

1) We got a C game at best from Lowe. He is one of if not the team leader, we need an A game in a game like this. 4 turnovers and poor shooting and shot selection is on him.

2) Corhen was great scoring the ball and finishing with 16 points. 2 rebounds from Corhen is not going to cut it. That is Fede level poor and not top 150 in the country worthy.

3) Depth is weak on defense and on the glass. Beebah getting 3 rebounds was a bright spot.

4) Guillermo was one of the big reasons we helped build the lead in the first place. But we have to get better 3 point shooting from him as his slump from 3 continues. And its now a slump

5) I made it a point of emphasis pregame that we win the rebound margin and turnover margin. We lost both as a team.


If there is a bright spot, its Delalic efficiency metrics after his 4th game. His season numbers now are looking good. Time to play him and find out what he really brings to the table.

They should remain at least a Q2 win though. UCF beat Texas A&M, LSU beat KST. This isn’t a mizz situation. BPI has Wisconsin as a 1 seed right now resume wise.

The bigger issue was GDG, Lowe and Ish going 2/17 from 3.

They also scored 54 because they shot 60% in the second half.

Georgia Tech’s embrace of NIL is paying off for Yellow Jackets football

Georgia Tech is proud of its status as one of the top public schools in the country. The school also loves its football program. Its history goes back to one of the early innovators of the game, John Heisman. The Yellow Jackets have won three national championships recognized by the NCAA and...

It’s was distinctly noticeable… the announcers talked about it… even said Bates was asked if he was “comfortable” not blitzing ( whatever that means) but it became apparent early very early it was a horrible strategy…

So what the hell was that all about??

Clinched 1st CFP. It wasnt easy. He had to convince his squad to get off the bus 11 times against girls teams. There were several games where the team initially refused to get off the bus, but the great motivator that he is, he was able to overcome adversity and get them to agree to get off the bus. They did and the rest is history. 11-1. 1 win over a team guaranteed to finish with a winning record. Home game in the CFP. 174,000 and a white out vs some jobber like Arizona State I'm sure. Then Boise State in the next round on their way to the semis. What a friggin joke. Their SOS may get weaker in the CFP.
