CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- The situation was custom-built for a big man who could run the floor. Georgia Tech was playing Boston College at Conte Forum, and the defending ACC champion opted to employ a small-ball set against the Eagles. Four guards were on the floor, and while the small, agile lineup was shooting the lights out of the gym from beyond the arc, it left a gap in the middle for an athletic big man who had both the size and shooting ability to compete with the smaller lineup.
Head coach Earl Grant noticed it, and three minutes into the game, he substituted Quinten Post into the game.
