ATLANTA, GEORGIA - Tech hosted Lamar in their Friday night season opener at the Thrillerdome.
Though it took a couple minutes to get on the board, the Jackets were the first to score in Friday night’s contest. And in that first half, the Jackets looked dominant, doubling up the visitors, entering the locker room up 44-22 at the half. They forced 16 turnovers, rebounded solidly and drew a lot of fouls, reaching the double bonus with plenty of time left to play in the half.
In the second half, or as Coach Josh Pastner more accurately put it, in the last fifteen minutes of the game, the roles seemed reversed, as Lamar came out of the locker room ready to play.
