Yellow Flag - from Fox Sports

We are the lead on their NCAA hoops page - check it out quick. If it is gone by the time you get there, here is a link to the story. Definite major props for the Jackets:

From the article:
"But if we're looking for the teams that are playing the best basketball right now then there can only be one choice for No. 1 — barring an upset on Saturday.

Georgia Tech: We were all lulled into thinking Hewitt's rebuilding process in Atlanta had been (at least momentarily) derailed with the one-and-out decision of 6-10 Chris Bosh last spring, and the transfer to UConn of his second-best post player, 2002 ACC Freshman of the Year Ed Nelson.
But, man-oh-man, our collective minds have been blown by the way Georgia Tech has played.

The Yellow Jackets' average winning margin is 25.9 points and only three of those games have come in Atlanta. Against the three best teams they've played — Connecticut, Texas Tech and Ohio State, all outside of Atlanta and the latter in Columbus — that margin doesn't slip all that much (18.3).

Hewitt is easily the "Coach of the first month of the season", and sophomore point guard Jarrett Jack is playing better than any player in the country."
