Last night took us back to good times

to the good days when GT Basketball held a presence. It was Senior Night and Lewis Clinch went out with a bang as he led all scoring with 30 points and went 9-16 from behind the arc, only 2 away from Dennis Scott's record of 11 3-Pointers.

What felt good about this game? Everything. We never were behind and roared through the entire 40 minutes of play. Miami came out flat and we came out as if we were playing for something other than simple pride. Some key stats that I have not seen all season: 56% from 3-Point Range and a shocking 67% free-throw shooting percentage. (insert shocked face here). It feels good to win and I almost forgot what it felt like.

So what's up next for the Jackets? It's back-to-back matchups against the Eagles in the last regular season game and the ACC Tournament down here in Atlanta. The first matchup will be this Saturday the 7th. The rematch has the Jackets locked-in as the 12-seed in the ACCT against the Eagles as the 5-seed at 2:30 PM in the Georgia Dome on March 12. More info on the tournament as we get closer.
