Georgia Tech came into this game as huge underdog against the seventh ranked Tar Heels, but led much of the game and was right in the game until the very final minutes. The Jackets led at half by three points, but eventually the superior North Carolina team was able to pull away.
Georgia Tech was led today by their star players. Marcus Georges-Hunt ended with 25 points on 6/9 shooting from the field. He ended with 15 free throws due to his ability to put himself in a position to draw the foul. His play in the first half was a major reason that UNC found themselves in foul trouble and had to sit some of their best players.
