Georgia Tech Stings Maryland En Route to Upset, 77-72

For the first time in two years, the team has lost back-to-back games. That was also the last time we lost to an unranked team. The loss has several implications:
1) GT now owns the tiebreaker over us.
2) The team must win out or hope GT or FSU loses more games than them or the Terps will have to win 4 games in 4 days for the ACC title.
3) A 1 seed is likely out of reach and we could fall down to a 3 pending any more losses.

There were no positives from the game last night (If you saw one leave it in the comments section below)

The negatives were plenty.

The team once again failed to show up when an opponent gave them some resistence in the first half. The Terps tried to make a run in the first half and then when GT answered back, Maryland seemed to be in shock and let GT do their thing.

Right now only one person is showing up to play on a given night. Yes, there were four players in double-figures, but no one played with high energy from the start.

In the three games we have played against teams that can play defense and like to trap, we have scored 68, 71 and 72. that's fine if you aren't giving up chunks of points at a time.

Once again the defense was suspect. We guarded them tight and the refs decided today would be the day to call every touch resulting in 33 fouls. Problem is we allowed dribble penetration, something that has killed us all season.

Again sloppy with the ball. Balls stolen from behind, passes thrown out of bounds, etc. Plus, no one can hang onto the ball.

We didn't adapt to the style of play the refs were calling. The guards refused to drive to the bucket and when we did drive it was obvious and GT picked a charge.

What has happened to Laura Harper? Is it time to have her come off the bench again?


this was a terrible loss. I can understand losing if they give it their all, but GT scored under 40 points twice this season and we gave up that many in the first half.
