Next up for Duke is Georgia Tech. Josh Pastner is now in his third season and it’s been a mixed bag, which is not entirely his fault.
His first season, Pastner won 21 games and made the NIT which was not a bad start. In his second, there were a number of controversies, some (unfounded) personal accusations which were later proven to be utterly false, significant injuries and some erratic results on the court.
Tech finished last season just 13-19 and this year, with limited talent, the Yellow Jackets are 9-5 to date.
Despite not having a ton of talent, Pastner has stressed defense and stolen some games.
