Another forgettable season for Georgia Tech basketball ended Tuesday. The Yellow Jackets finished the year 14-18 (6-12) after they went down to the ACC’s last place team Notre Dame. Josh Pastner’s three year mark at Georgia Tech is 48-53 ( 20-34 ), and he’s running out of time. Georgia Tech fans knew Pastner was taking …

In a well played highly competitive game where Virginia did just enough to win, I think we are seeing the beginning of what will be the ACC’s next great coaching rivalry. The ACC was built on great coaching rivalries – Mike Krzyzewski vs …
