PrintCongratulations to Iman Shumpert as he scored his 1,000th point for Georgia Tech basketball!
...and now back to reality....
Georgia Tech basketball and scoring droughts go hand-in-hand like bread and butter this season. For the second straight game the Yellow Jackets suffered such a drought that allowed the opponent to gain a considerable lead and never look back. Against Clemson this past Saturday the Tigers went on a 22-0 run. Tonight the Jackets went almost seven straight minutes without scoring! This included 11 straight missed shots and five turnovers. You cannot win a basketball game in this manner.
Scoring timeline via ESPN.comYellow Jackets vs Hokies coverage
Leonard Hamilton has owned Paul Hewitt recently. Florida State has now won six straight games against Georgia Tech, and 7 of the past 9. The last time Hewitt notched a win against the Seminoles was the 2006-2007 season where he won both match-ups.
In basketball, one can argue that one player makes all the difference. However, all five on the floor need to contribute in some manner. The 2011 season might as well be the Iman Shumpert and Glen Rice Jr Yellow Jackets as they are the only two individuals producing on the court. The two combined for 49 points (25 and 24 respectively)against the Seminoles. Against Miami last week, they were literally the only two starters that even scored points.
Georgia Tech falls to 10-13 overall (3-7 ACC) and Florida State improves to 17-7 (7-3 ACC). The Jackets next game will be in Blacksburg, VA as they will play the Virginia Tech Hokies on Sunday February 13.

I'll finish that for ya
“I realize someone has to shoot, but…”
…you aren’t your dad!
"You could spend the next fifteen seconds of your life watching a man and a tiger scream together, or you could be an idiot."
Fact.
I agree I thought it was the worst game I’ve seen him play. But heck hes been one of two reasons that we are even almost competitive so we cant give him too hard a time for one game. I do wish some1 would actually shoot close to 45-50% though. 9-29 from the field…… Ouch. We lack anything to resembles an inside game. They need to let Miller post up more cause I think he could develop into quite the post presence but if doesn’t get the ball he wont….. Also will someone please teach udofia to use his body to shiled defenders when he drives. Ive really been impressed by his effort the past few games but he just cant convert once he gets close.
Not much to say anymore
Shumpert is exhausted. There was a TV timeout that showed him after he made a killer shot and the look on his face said it all. Even after making that shot he looked like he was tired of carrying that load and that burden for the entire team.
And while yes, Rice did have a good game by the numbers, his shot selection is as bad as Josh Smith’s. Just because you think you can doesn’t mean you should and sometimes just because the long three is open, that doesn’t mean you should take it. This isn’t a one game problem either. He jacks up the early three a lot.
Then again, when we don’t have an offense, I’m not sure I can blame him. They clearly are getting zero coaching on that end of the floor.
