Hoops - Jackets Make Field


So the Jackets make the field of 65 and will be "re-matched" against UNLV, rekindling memories of that famous 90/91 season. It will be a Friday game in Chicago. The Jackets get the 10-seed with UNLV a 7-seed. Truthfully, UNLV is a tough team. In fact, if you look at all the bracketology experts, nobody picked them wBlogger: Georgia Tech Sports Blog - Create Postorse than a 6-seed and almost every online bracket projection had them as a 4-seed, with a few at a 5-seed. So Tech will have their hands full.


Here's what we know:
Record 28-6
Mountain West Champions
RPI - #10 by Ken Pomeroy (GT #52)
Strength of Schedule #37 (GT #41)
Statistical Scouting Report

Kevin Kruger is the key, a senior Guard that was hampered by injuries early in the season, but seems to be running on all cylinders now.
