In the words of famed college basketball analyst Jon Rothstein, college basketball is the epitome of brutality. Those words rang especially true when Tech invited North Florida to McCamish on a cold, rainy Sunday. In retrospect, it was presumptive to think this game would be easy for Tech. The Ospreys came into the contest 2-0 highlighted by a win in Columbia, S.C., knocking off the University of South Carolina. If their performance against Tech is any indication, that win was not a fluke.
The game began as many Tech fans expected — the Jackets jumped out to an early nine-point lead to begin the contest.
