This game is in the Mid-West regional bracket and will be played in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are a fascinating case study. By all accounts, they played sorta lousy this season, and coach Paul Hewitt was on the cusp of losing his job. However, the Jackets had an outstanding ACC tournament – making it to the final and even then only coming up short against Duke by four points.
If Georgia Tech can ride that momentum, they could be a potent foe in March.
For its part, Oklahoma State will lean on its do-everything guard, junior James Anderson.
The versatile guard/swingman averaged 22.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in the regular season. Unfortunately, Ok. St. has been going the opposite way to the Jackets lately – three of the Cowboys’ last five games resulted in losses.
The Cowboys had a stretch earlier in the season where they won 11 of 12; they need to replicate that magic to make sure they dispose of the pesky Yellow Jackets.
Georgia Tech has no bona fide studs, but do showcase several solid players. Forwards Gani Lawal and Derrick Favors get it done up front, both putting up double-digit points and eight boards per.
Two late-season wins at North Carolina and versus Clemson catapulted Georgia Tech into its surprising success in the conference tourney.
If big men Lawal and freshman Favors can get their opponents into foul trouble, the Jackets certainly have a shot.
Regardless, Tech has been plagued by inconsistency this season, and they will need to shake that reputation if they’re to make a dent in the tourney.
