Around SBN: Beyond The Boxscore's Week 17 MLB Power Rankings

Turtle is back on the menu...

First off, here is Ted's segment on the radio yesterday before UNC. The conversation can still be applied to tonight.

 

Now, let's look at some quotes about last night:

It also revealed nothing we didn't already know about the Yellow Jackets. GT's guard play is horrendous as ever, and they had more turnovers (13) than assists (11). There's still no real PG, they jack way too many threes, and ignore Derrick Favors too much. Maryland's solid perimeter defense will cause them problems, and Gary Williams has the knowledge and guard play to exploit it on the other end. - Ben Broman (Testudo Times)

 

North Carolina had made a stunning 17-0 run over 7:13 in the first half that put the Tar Heels up 24-13. Of UNC's seven shots from the floor in the run, six were layups. Everything was way too easy for Carolina -- and way too hard for Georgia Tech. But Tech reversed that in the second half. "Congratulate Georgia Tech," said Roy Williams who likely will miss his first NCAA tournament since his first year at Kansas in 1989. "I think that will help them." - Carroll Rogers (AJC)

 

For awhile at least, this team played like they wanted to be there. Some of it was more Tech's ineptitude than anything else; the Yellow Jackets came out slow and unfocused, with nine turnovers and 2-11 shooting from behind the arc in the first half. The Heels, on the other hand, outhustled, outrebounded and plain embarrassed Tech in the first half. Even with their all-too familiar poor shooting, UNC went into the locker room with a ten point lead, led by Marcus Ginyard, who was everywhere on the court spurring the team on. - T.H. (Carolina March)

 

Complaining in a seemingly growing refrain, some Georgia Tech fans have been pleading with the school — via online team message boards, Twitter and various other mediums — to let go of its head coach after his team once again finished the regular season without a winning conference record. The Yellow Jackets’ 7-9 ACC showing marked the eighth time a Georgia Tech team failed to finish above .500 in conference play since the head coach was hired nine years ago. - Coley Harvey (Macon Telegraph)


What do you think about Tech's match up tonight with the Terps? I think Tech fans should be relatively confident. We lost a tough one in College Park but physically we dominated the Terps. Take away their 17,950 fans and our guards might play an okay game. Hell, we should beat the Terps by 10 if we play up to our potential. They have no answer for Derrick Favors or Gani Lawal. Let us know your thoughts. WOOHOO! If Tech wins tonight, Winfield owes CPH a big hug.

We do match up with the Terps fairly well

My only concern is that the first game we shot lights out which we are no longer doing. Maybe the iron will be kind to us today.

A little off topic

But I like this bracket with CBS where we are a #10 seed in the South (but play in Ok City and Houston) and play Gonzaga with Syracuse our #1 seed (that might not stick though).

any bracket that we're in should be fun (closer the better)

I just don’t see us getting far with a double digit seed (which we deserve)…

I spun around... and there I was, face-to-face with a six-year old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass.

Great to see

some of our OOC games are conference champs – Siena and Ark-Pine Bluff. Hewitt always seems to find teams that have the NCAAT Mojo for his ooc schedule ’cause we always look back on a relatively tough pre-ACC schedule and see several conference champs.

We could get past the first weekend...

According to that cbs bracket projection he’s referring to, we would play gonzaga and then likely new mexico. Both of these teams have a lower Pure LRMC than we do, so it would be conceivable that we make it into the sweet 16. I’m not saying that is the draw we will actually end up with, but if something similar comes along we might not be too bad off.

good call

Any midmajor will catch hell in the front court against us. The problem will be that good midmajors have good, veteran guards (ala Dayton) and that could cause us some problems. I wouldn’t mind dodging BCS teams in the first two rounds.

I want Tech to win

but winning won’t change my opinion that the automatic contract renewal should be cancelled.

I hope the women end up in Louisville for the first round. Here’s some interesting information:

Tickets for women first round in Louisville (still available): $16 per day or $27 for both days.

Tickets for men in Milwaukee (where I saw James Forrest nail that three pointer at the buzzer a few years ago): sold out and $213 for both days.

Just to be clear

I want CPH’s contract to stop renewing, but if we can’t afford to fire him until the contract runs out, then I"m OK with that. We are going to have to start paying Al Groh real money in a couple of years when his Virginia money runs out, and I want to keep Johnson.

If we have to suck at basketball for five or six years to keep the football program solid, then we have to suck at basketball.

I was there when Price and Salley were freshman, and I love the basketball program, but I grew up in Georgia: there’s football, and then there are other sports to do while waiting for more football.

I think you're right

Seems like it’s renovations or fire Hewitt. To fire Hewitt is two steps backwards. To renovate is at least one step forward.
