Georgia Tech Basketball: Yellow Jackets Stun #9 UNC
The Georgia Tech men’s basketball team stunned the country and closed out the 2016 calendar year in style with a 75-63 victory over the ninth ranked UNC Tar Heels.
Gritty.
It’s the only word that somebody could use to describe the way that the Georgia Tech men’s basketball team played on Saturday afternoon. The Yellow Jackets used their gritty play style to open up their ACC schedule with a 75-63 stunner of ninth ranked UNC.
Coming into the season, Georgia Tech was predicted by some to not win any ACC games, the win officially ushers in the Josh Pastner era of Georgia Tech basketball.
