GEORGIA TECH ROLLS OVER GEORGIA


TECH WINS BY LARGEST MARGIN EVER


DAWGS POUNDED


THE FAMOUS STUKES COMMENT
If this just isn't the funniest thing I've ever heard, I don't know what is:

Despite the loss, Stukes was not impressed with the Yellow Jackets.

"They weren't the best team tonight," Stukes said. "They just did some things we didn't do."



BETTER VERSION OF "THE QUOTE"
This is the version I was looking for with a great comeback from the writer:

Dirty or not, there was still some bad blood between the teams after the game, as evidenced by Georgia guard Levi Stukes' critique of the Yellow Jackets.

"They weren't the best team tonight," Stukes said. "They just did some that things that we didn't do."

Those things included shooting, rebounding and defending. Tech (5-0) shot 20 percentage points better than the Bulldogs (1-3), held a 44-25 rebounding edge and limited Georgia to five field goals in the second half.

IMPORTANCE OF JEREMIS SMITH
A Q&A session after the Michigan game:

Game: Michigan at Georgia Tech


Question: How important was Jeremis Smith to Georgia Tech?


Answer: For one game, not very. Without Smith, a freshman who had become their first big man off the bench before injuring his knee, the Jackets swarmed Michigan 99-68. Georgia Tech went small and fast and overwhelmed Michigan's rudderless backcourt.



WHERE ARE THEY NOW - CHRIS BOSH
Interesting comment on trade rumors around the Raptors:
Seems it's Chris Bosh and 14 guys they'd part with in a second. Bosh isn't on the block and shouldn't be. The rest can be had at the right price.
