It took three and a half years, but this afternoon, the Jackets picked up their first ranked win in McCamish Pavilion and their first top five win since Tech took down Duke in 2010! On the heels of two close road losses, the Jackets came out strong and gave the home crowd a win to remember for years.
Tech was led in the early stages of the game by Quinton Stephens, who knocked down ten quick points and put the Jackets up 15-7, just seven minutes into the game. Tech held a strong lead the rest of the half, leading by as many as 13 points and took an 11 point lead into half.
