The conventional wisdom for attacking a zone defense is to hit 3-point shots to force the defense to expand and open up gaps in the interior.
Against Syracuse on Saturday, Georgia Tech may attempt the reverse. The Yellow Jackets defeated the Orange two years ago at the Carrier Dome and lost by a point last season at McCamish Pavilion. The Jackets made but seven 3-pointers in the two games, coach Brian Gregory noted Friday.
