Shooting woes
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tech has shot less than 50 percent for 12 straight games after Thursday night’s 62-58 loss to Florida State.
Tech’s shooting was atrocious in Tallahassee: 34.4 percent. (FSU was even worse at 30.9 percent, but the Seminoles made up for it with a 10-point edge at the foul line).
Gani Lawal hit just 5 of 16 shots, and the Jackets made 2 of 15 three-pointers. They are 5 for 33 over their last two games from beyond the arc.
With the exception of Iman Shumpert’s rushed 3-pointer with 1:32 left, most were pretty good looks.
Lewis Clinch went 2 for 11 overall, Shumpert 1 for 6 and Lance Storrs 1 for 6. Zachery Peacock (16 points) and Alade Aminu (12 points) were the only efficient offensive players.
Tech is shooting about 40 percent in conference play.
We’re halfway through ACC play and Tech is 1-7, with five of those losses coming by 7 points or less, including three in OT.
What do you expect over the second half of the ACC schedule?
