Perhaps its the most 2020 thing ever to play four overtimes on the opening night of the college basketball season. At least that’s how I will rationalize what took place last night - or I guess it was this morning - to try and erase the pain of seeing the Jackets battle for 60 minutes and still lose.
Georgia State (1-0) defeated Georgia Tech (0-1) 123-120 in 4 OT to kick off both teams’ seasons. The win gave the Panthers their first win in the series in over 40 years. Playing in front of a mostly empty crowd at McCamish Pavilion, it was up to each collective group of players to create their own intensity.
