If you’re anything like me, you are weird and love statistics and what they tell you about a team. So let’s get right into the stats.
That is Georgia Tech’s block percentage. More than one in seven of an opponents 2 point shots ended well before they got to the rim. That is good for 4th best in the country. This was a massive portion of Georgia Tech’s success. In addition to all of those blocked shots, teams became scared to attack the rim and missed a lot of shots due to perceived pressure. Most of this, was of course due to the machine, Ben Lammers.
