The Yellow Jackets spent much of conference season with eyes on the NCAA Tournament. Unfortunately, some poor late season performances put the Tournament out of reach. Tonight, the Yellow Jackets received an NIT invite. Given the pre-season expectations for this team, this is fantastic, but many fans are surely going to lament missing the tournament.
Georgia Tech has been given a 6 seed and will face 3-seed Indiana in the first round at McCamish Pavilion. Normally the game is played at the higher seed, but Indiana’s arena is under construction so the Yellow Jackets will get to host.
