Georgia Tech Basketball's Tough Season: A Deep Dive

0:00On March 7th, Georgia Tech's basketball team wrapped up a tough season with an 11-win 20-loss record, marking them as the weakest squad in, power conference play. They ranked 169th nationally in Ken Palm ratings, far behind even other struggling ACC teams. Under Coach Damon Stottomere, the Yellow Jackets took a big step back after showing promise with 17 wins and an NIT spot the year before. Andrews played a huge role in the downfall, hitting every player at some point. Standout freshman Mozilla, a five-star recruit, missed nearly half the games and hasn't played since late January, leading to a 0-11 skid. Afterward, sophomore star Bay and Dango also failed to build on his all ACC honors, seeing drops in scoring, rebounds, and impact. Fans who stuck through past losing seasons like 12-win campaigns finally tuned out this year. The beat downs pout up, with double digit losses to teams like Clemson, North Carolina, and Virginia, making it feel like the team quit competing.

1:02Early on, offensive woes sealed the deal. From 13.4 turnovers per game, ranking near the bottom nationally to poor efficiency inside the arc at, just 48.4%. Three-point attempts stayed low at under 20 per game, crowding the pain and stifling any rhythm. As the dust settles, Georgia Tech faces tough questions heading into the off season, with roster tweaks in health, likely key to turning things around next year.
