NIT Quarterfinals Preview: Georgia Tech vs. San Diego State

Remember last game? When Georgia Tech scored 83 points, hit 11-22 from deep, and 19-37 from inside the arc? Well don't expect that again. San Diego State is one of the best defensive teams in the country, ranked number 3 by KenPom. Opponents shoot just 41.2 percent from two pointers and 29.6% on threes against them, first and second in the nation respectively. They block 15.1% of opponents shots good for fourth in the country. They are also solid at avoiding fouling and preventing offensive rebounds which could be key against the Yellow Jackets. The reason this defense isn't playing in the dance, is an offense that is mediocre in nearly every way.
