Through 15 games, Georgia Tech’s offense has been so potent as to be nearly recognizable. For instance, in the Yellow Jackets’ 89-84 loss to No. 24 Pittsburgh on Wednesday, guard Adam Smith lit up the Panthers with eight 3-pointers, the most a Tech player has scored in a game since 1994. In fact, it was more 3-pointers than Tech had scored as a team in all but three of its games last season.
Smith, a graduate transfer from Virginia Tech, scored a career-high 30 points, becoming the first player in coach Brian Gregory’s tenure to reach that plateau.
