Georgia Tech coach Pastner: Pitt will 'have to earn' ACC Tournament win

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- No. 13-seed Georgia Tech had to work to earn a 61-60 win over No. 12 Florida State in the first round of the ACC Tournament at Greensboro Coliseum Tuesday.

Yellow Jackets coach Josh Pastner will make sure No. 5 Pitt has to do the same if the Panthers want to win Wednesday.

Georgia Tech was down 55-50 with 2:04 to play after Florida State's Caleb Mills sunk a 3-pointer, and capped an 11-5 run to close the game as Ja'von Franklin was fouled while going up for a second-chance dunk with the game tied at 60 with 0.
