Ga Tech Game Thread

[STEVEHOLT]

so the second we called that stupid time out with 17 seconds left , I was thinking, "So how does this end up with Tech scoring as the half ends?"

I thought and thought and couldn't really come up with a realistic series of events.

guess I'm just not imaginative enough

At game we have 25 percent of the crowd

Tv guy put it at 40%

Let's beat GT by not beating ourselves!

 

[cspades99]

Gillon's been brutal to close every single first half since the NCST game. And is committed to making a brutal half court lob in every game now.

 

[Cuse House]

Let's beat GT by not beating ourselves!

That's really the key, we are clearly the better team.

 

[sugrad68]

Gillon airballed a wide open three, threw the worst fast-break alley-oop I've ever seen and then traveled on the final possession of a half to lead to a momentum-swinging 3.

Can't do much worse than that. Unbelievable.

Also, Lydon is not without blame. He's been bad, too.

Lydon does have 8 rebounds which is far from shabby. Problem is, we can't expect TT to score 14 in the 2nd half. Someone other than White has to help.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

So how do we get Lydon some shots?

 

[jdubs30]

I mean ya gotta figure Lydon will hit some shots at somepoint. And besides a 2-3 minute stretch AW3 was invisible on offense. TT has been great though

 

[cspades99]

GT has looked like garbage, for sure. The only way to not be up a dozen is unforced errors. And there's been a very, very long list of those.

 

[Funk Doc]

I know why, but why can't Gill and Frank both play well in the same game!!!??

Ironically TT is usually at his best to start 2nd halves

 

[Briancuse]

Looking more and more like Lydon may be back next year.

I am more worried about TT leaving.

 

[Madbiker]

If we lose, it will be the disaster last minute of 1st half. Up 9 and go in up only 3. Terrible.

 

[hoopsupstate]

If SU stays focused and plays hard, GT will have a hard time scoring. We can't give them anything easy. We haven't set up correct against their 1-3-1 yet. If we split the top, the diagonal lob will be there. Any kind of penetration will give us and easy look.

 

[jdubs30]

I know why, but why can't Gill and Frank both play well in the same game!!!??

If Gillon is playing well - he will play 40 minutes. So we only see FH for extended periods if Gillon is being awful.

 

[orangenirvana]

TT playing great today. So I expect JB to bench him any time now.

Yeah because Boeheim doesn't know what he's doing!

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

I know why, but why can't Gill and Frank both play well in the same game!!!??

Because Gillon isn't very good...

 

[Cusefan0307]

I am more worried about TT leaving.

Please bro. He ain't even ranked in the top 100.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Gillon is Scoop Jardine 2.0. Love him or hate him.

Scoop on his worst day was an order of magnitude better than Gillon.

 

[jdubs30]

Scoop on his worst day was an order of magnitude better than Gillon.

His worst today? No

 

[jdubs30]

I just hope the committee isn't watching this one

 

[tee1222]

Let's go fellas. We've got this.

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

His worst today? No

Yes. No question...I think the comparison isn't valid either. But we can agree to disagree.

 

[cspades99]

I get the limitations of Gillon because he's so small, and that's totally fine. But an about-to-be 23 y/o grad transfer player should not make the number of mental mistakes he does. And they are all the same.
