After a long offseason, Georgia Tech fans finally saw new head coach Josh Pastner and his team in action Friday night. Big nights from Ben Lammers and Josh Okogie led the Jackets to the victory over Tennessee Tech.
Coach Pastner went with two freshman in the starting lineup, Justin Moore and Josh Okogie, along with AD Gueye, Ben Lammers, and Quinton Stephens. Corey Heyward played big minutes off the bench, leading to a career high 8 points. Sylvester Ogbonda, Christian Matthews, and grad transfers Jodan Price and Kellen McCormick all saw minutes as well. The Jackets were without guard Tadric Jackson, who was held out with a hamstring injury and Josh Heath, who is suspended for the first four games of the season.
