No need to over-complicate it,
Josh Pastner said. Basketball, at its essence, is a make-or-miss game.
Exhibit A: Georgia Tech had open looks Wednesday but only made 4 of 21 three-pointers in a 57-49 loss to No 9 Virginia.
Exhibit B: Georgia Tech had open looks last month but made 16 of 27 threes in an 83-65 rout of No. 20 Clemson.
Those games stand in stark contrast to one another, but they illustrate Pastner’s point just the same. Georgia Tech (9-7, 5-5 ACC) now heads to Clemson (12-5, 6-5 ACC) on Friday facing an entirely different kind of make-or-miss situation. The Yellow Jackets missed their chance at a resume-boosting win over the Cavaliers Wednesday. They can make up for it with a Quadrant 1 road win over a rested, revenge-minded Tigers team Friday.
