Social media reacts: Clemson suffers devastating 2OT loss to Georgia Tech

Clemson fans are disappointed with the Tigers’ double-overtime loss to Georgia Tech on Tuesday night.

Despite center PJ Hall having a career night, the Clemson men’s basketball team ultimately collapsed against Georgia Tech in Littlejohn Coliseum on Tuesday night, falling to the Yellow Jackets 93-90 in double overtime.

Leading by nine points with 1:43 left in the second half, the Tigers broke down in the final stretch and allowed the Yellow Jackets to storm back. With two seconds left in regulation, Georgia Tech guard Naithan George drilled a three-pointer to tie the game and force overtime.

After a back-and-forth first overtime period, the Yellow Jackets took control of the game in double overtime. Down by three, Hall had a chance to tie the game up at the buzzer, but he missed a deep shot from beyond the arc on the wing, and Clemson (12-5, 2-4 ACC) suffered its fourth loss in the last five games.

Although it didn’t lead to a win, Hall scored a career-high 31 points on 11-for-23 shooting from the floor.

As a team, Clemson’s struggles from the three-point line continued on Tuesday, as the Tigers made just three of their 21 attempts from deep.

“We just had another day where we’re not making threes,” head coach Brad Brownell said. “I don’t know if it was fatigue or what-not, but when they make 15, and you only make three, that’s a 36-point difference. It’s hard to overcome that. This was hard. We’ve just got to hang in there and stick together.”

Here is how people on X reacted to the Tigers’ brutal loss at home on Tuesday:

Louisville vs Georgia Tech Game Preview, ACC Conference Tournament

Why Louisville Will Win

The Cardinals might have hit the skids, but they’re not shooting that poorly, they’re taking a lot of threes, and they’re good on the boards.

Even over the four game losing streak they’ve been able to move the ball around well and should be able to win the battle on the boards.

Georgia Tech gets hit with a ton of fouls, it turns the ball over too much, and it doesn’t manufacture points on the free throw line or from three. It got by a bad Boston College team, but it dropped seven of its last nine partly because the defense is allowing easy baskets in bulk.

The Cardinals were able to win the first meeting back in early January after going +11 in rebounding margin, but …

Why Georgia Tech Will Win

Georgia Tech should be able to generate a slew of turnovers.

It didn’t happen a few months ago when they played, but they’re going to come up with a few steals against a leaky UofL backcourt – 54 turnovers in the last four games – and if it can do anything from three, there won’t be a problem.

This isn’t a big shooting team from the outside, but giving up the three has been a problem for the Cardinals over the last few games. Georgia Tech is 7-0 when making 41% or more of its threes, and it’s 8-1 when making 40% or more.

Louisville vs Georgia Tech: What’s Going To Happen

Don’t expect much from the free throw line.

Neither team can make them, and it’s going to get ugly at the end.

Both teams are equally inept at consistent scoring, but Georgia Tech has been a wee bit sharper from the field lately and is just a teeny-tiny bit better from the line.

Also, the Yellow Jacket D forces mistakes. The Cardinal defense doesn’t quite do as much.

Georgia basketball freshman transfers to Tech

Georgia Bulldogs freshman basketball player Rodney Howard is electing to transfer to rival Georgia Tech

Georgia Bulldogs freshman basketball player Rodney Howard is electing to transfer to rival Georgia Tech. Howard, a center, will provide the Yellow Jackets with some size on the interior. He’s anticipated to have to sit out for one season. Howard played in 24 games as a freshman.

Under head basketball coach Tom Crean, Howard averaged 7.3 minutes per game. He averaged 1.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.3 fouls in his limited playing time. He was a potential building block for the future and a nice piece of UGA’s great 2019 basketball recruiting class.

Howard announced his plans to transfer to Georgia Tech via Twitter:

How initially considered attending Georgia Tech when he made his decision to commit to the University of Georgia. Georgia Tech went 17-14 during the 2019-2020 season, where they were ineligible for post-season play. The Yellow Jackets finished fifth in the ACC, but they fell to Anthony Edwards and the Georgia Bulldogs in non-conference play.

Howard played at Legacy Charter High School in Greenville, South Carolina. He was a three-star center prospect in the class of 2019.

Notre Dame Beats Georgia Tech, Ends ACC Slump

What were you doing at the end of February 2018?

Think back to the end of February 2018 real quick.  What were you doing?

Personally I was only a couple months into being a first-time home owner and adjusting to life as that and (finally) having a dog to call my own for the first time in my life (shoutout to Ned).

The end of February 2018 was the last time Notre Dame won two straight ACC contests, by beating Wake Forest and Pittsburgh.  At last we can now say that unfortunate streak is done.

Notre Dame’s offense was again lights out Saturday, being key in an 80-72 win over Georgia Tech.  Graduate senior Rex Pfluger tied his season-high 13 points with a couple of those field goals being huge down the stretch.

John Mooney did what John Mooney tends to do, putting up a double-double with 28 points and 10 rebounds while Temple Gibbs had a huge offensive showing, putting up 19 points himself.

Georgia Tech head coach Josh Pastner left impressed with the Fighting Irish offense after seeing it up-close for a second time this season:

“A really, really good offense” Pastner said after the game, “maybe the best offensive team in this league”.

If I only saw this team play twice and they scored 158 in those two games I would probably think similarly.

Dane Goodwin added 14 points for that Notre Dame offense while also being lock-down defensively.

Notre Dame improved to 13-8 overall and 4-6 in ACC with the victory.  The Irish return to the court Wednesday to host Pitt who a win over would mean Notre Dame’s first three game ACC winning streak since the first week of 2018.  Pitt will bring an identical 4-6 conference mark to Purcell Pavilion on Wednesday.

Can the Broncos take their momentum with them across the Pacific Ocean?

WHO: Boise State Broncos (6-4, 1-1 Mountain West) vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (4-5, 1-1 ACC)

WHEN: Sunday, December 22nd — 5:00 PM EST/3:00 PM MST

WHERE: Stan Sherriff Center, Honolulu, HI

TV: ESPNU

STREAM: WatchESPN

LISTEN: Tunein

SERIES RECORD: First Ever Meeting 

ODDS:  Boise State -1, per KenPom

Game Preview

The Broncos head to Honolulu for the Holidays to participate in the Diamond Head Classic, and their first game is going to be their first ever meeting with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The tournament is packed with tough opponents but the Broncos will have to concentrate on their first round draw as the Yellow Jackets are a lot tougher than that 4-5 record reflects. Georgia Tech is coming in with a three game losing streak, and even though Boise State has been inconsistent all year they themselves are coming off of a 43 point beat down against Alabama State.

Josh Pastner’s team is 4-5 with a resume full of understandable losses, to the likes of Kentucky, Syracuse, Arkansas and Georgia. And besides a very lopsided 34-point loss to Syracuse at home the others were a lot closer. Then came this past Wednesday where a 5-4 Ball State team that is also in Hawaii this weekend went to Atlanta and beat the Yellow Jackets at home by 18 points.

It’s easy to say that this Georgia Tech squad hasn’t fared well at home and has been fairly inconsistent throughout the season. Maybe a tournament in paradise for the holidays will help them figure things out. Pastner has struggled in Atlanta in an ever competitive ACC, posting a 52-58 overall record and no NCAA tournament appearances with the Yellow Jackets since leaving Memphis back in 2016.

The Broncos can score, and they are averaging 80.4 PPG and when firing on all cylinders can rival any team in the country. But on Sunday afternoon Derrick Alston Jr. needs to be a playmaker from the get go and Justinian Jessup needs to be effective on the perimeter both offensively and defensively. Georgia Tech has an elite scoring guard in sophomore Michael Devoe who is averaging 18.4 PPG that they need to keep track of. Tough the Broncos may be in luck as he has been in a bit of a rut during the Yellow Jacket’s three game losing streak, shooting a combined 8-37 from the field during that time. They don’t want to be the team he catches fire against but the key to a Bronco win needs to be a great scoring output from their stars and keeping Devoe in check as both a scorer and distributor with assist leader Jose Alvarado still out with injury.

Georgia Tech also has a formidable duo down low in senior forward James Banks III (10.9 PPG and 7.8 RPG) and junior forward Moses Wright (11.1 PPG and 7.4 RPG). They are both capable scorers and rebounders but where Banks III shines is his defensive presence in the paint. He is averaging a team best 3.7 BPG, which is also good enough for third in the entire country. Georgia Tech also has five players averaging at least one steal a game. This could pose a problem for Boise State as we saw how the Broncos struggled against a Tulsa team with similar length on defense going 6-29 from deep and having their stars (Jessup and Alston) taken completely out of the game going a combined 4-18 from the field.

Game Prediction:

Georgia Tech 74, Boise State 70

Barring any kind of immaculate shooting performance from Boise State, I expect this game to be decided in the trenches and at the free throw line. Ending a bit closer than some might expect.

Georgia men’s basketball to wear special uniforms vs. Georgia Tech?

Is Georgia basketball rocking throwbacks vs. Georgia Tech Wednesday?

Georgia men’s basketball will host in-state rival Georgia Tech Wednesday in a battle of undefeated teams at Stegeman Coliseum.

While neither side is ranked, it is still a big-time game with bragging rights and the ability to gain momentum on the line.

We cannot confirm anything, but based off a couple factors, it looks like the Dawgs will be rocking their beloved throwback jerseys against the Yellow Jackets when they take the court Wednesday.

Our evidence?

  • The first 1,250 students through the doors receive a throwback Dominique Wilkins ‘shersey’ per GeorgiaDogs.com.

  • Georgia has also posted a throwback-style gameday graphic with the old-school jerseys, mentioning Clean Old-Fashioned Hate.

  • The Dawgs broke out the newly updated throwback threads a few times last season, while playing at home.

  • The jerseys look like they will be back, based off 2020 prospects taking recruiting visit pictures in them.

Of course, nothing here is official, but we have a good feeling Georgia comes out donning the Wilkins-era threads.

If we’re right, remember who called it from the beginning. If we’re wrong, well, we never said anything was official.

Regardless of the uniform, it’s always fun to Hate Tech and beat up on little brother. Make sure to come out to Stegeman Coliseum tonight and cheer on the Dawgs! If you cannot make the game, it will be televised on SEC Network + and broadcast on 680 The Fan.

Go Dawgs!
