Perfect time for a big victory
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Some claim that bad news comes in threes. That’s been the case this week for Tech basketball. First, we lose Lewis Clinch for the season. Then, we lose an absolute heartbreaker at Clemson, followed by the suspension of Zach Peacock for throwing an elbow during that game.
A nice win over Duke couldn’t have come at a better time.
Some quick observations on the game:
Ra’Sean Dickey stepped up big with Peacock out.
Morrow has his stroke back.
Mario West provides a spark anytime he’s on the court.
Free throw shooting was outstanding (79 %).
Sloppy passing by both teams throughout the game.
28 turnovers won’t win you many games.
The dribble penetration killed us.
Our scrappy play won the game.
I don’t feel sorry for Duke now that they’re 0-2 in the ACC. They won’t be down for long. That’s still one of the best coached teams in the conference. I’d love to see Tech grasp that same concept of “team” basketball.
