On Wednesday night, the Yellow jackets dropped a 62-61 heartbreaker to the Virginia Tech Hokies. Despite the loss, Josh Pastner showed once again on Wednesday that he has the program moving in the right direction just 18 games into his first season.
Everyone knew it wasn’t going to be easy. It was going to take time for Georgia Tech to get to the level that athletic director Todd Stansbury wants the program to be. Entering the 2016-17 season, the Yellow Jackets were expected to barely compete in a strong ACC and even potentially not win a single conference game.
