Bee Proud!!!

You know, it's funny. When the final horn sounded, I had this wave of good feelings come over me. Not anger, disappointment, frustration. Sure, the game gave me that whole range. But as soon as it was over, I smiled. I think it is the realization of the character, heart, pride and fight of this team. This special group of guys did something no other GT team in history has done, getting us this close to the pinnacle. Tonight we were outplayed by a better opponent, but what this team accomplished this year cannot be understated. A team picked to do nothing this season ended up among the last 2 standing.

"Family". This team will forever be linked with greatness in Tech history. There is Mo's fire and leadership, McHenry's suffucating defense and willingness to be what the team needed, Elder's scoring leadership, Jack's tenacity as floor general, Lewis's quiet marksmanship, Bynum's fear nothing attitude, Luke's long reach and humble attitude, Ish's flying circuis, Tarver's grit overcoming injury, Brook's team attitude and quirkiness, West's defensive hustle, Nystrom's shot and D.Nelson's & K.Jones's sacrifice to make others better. And of course, there is the Coach, Paul Hewitt. The rising star. No doubt he has proven himself and let's hope there are many special years to come. The future is bright for Georgia Tech basketball.

Family. This team represented the Georgia Institute of Technology with pride and honor. Hold your heads high team!!! GO JACKETS!!!!!
