Though tonight’s NIT berth is nothing short of a pleasant surprise for a Georgia Tech team which came into the season with virtually no expectations, making an appearance in the consolation tournament brings with it a much heavier feeling for Georgia fans, coaches, and players. In fact, the whole state of Georgia swung and missed at the NCAA Tournament this season; not a single team from the Peach State will be playing postseason basketball above the NIT level. Of course, the pain is the realest of all in Athens, home of a perennially underachieving basketball team which, much like its football team, has been “on the cusp of a breakout” for decades.
