Josh Pastner Details The Issue In Why Georgia Tech Has Started 0-3 In The ACC

It has not been a reasonably begin for Georgia Tech in convention play. The Yellow Jackets are 0-3 within the ACC with all losses coming by double digits to North Carolina, Clemson, and Virginia. 

So what has been the most important downside for Georgia Tech on this 0-3 begin?

Whereas there are a variety of issues to level to, there’s one specifically that has been evident in every ACC defeat to date this season for Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets have been shut in video games in opposition to the Tar Heels, Tigers, and Cavaliers, however they’ve given up monster runs in all three video games. The runs have come within the first half and bled into the second half and so they have been 18-2, 25-3, and 11-0 runs to knock Georgia Tech out of the sport fully. 

When addressing the media on Tuesday afternoon, Georgia Tech head coach Josh Pastner talked about this concern and gave a prolonged clarification: 

“The largest factor once you have a look at our three video games and I stated this final night time on the radio present, our three largest points once you have a look at our video games in ACC play we’re 0-3. Vs North Carolina, with three minutes and 20 seconds to go within the first half, it was 28-26… it was 3:19 to be precise, 28-26 North Carolina, they’re up by two and so they go on an 11-0 run to finish the half. You are taking out that 3:19, within the 36 minutes and 41 seconds, they’ve a plus 5 benefit, it’s that three minutes and 19 seconds.

Towards Clemson, with 14:35, we’re main 14-10 and over the subsequent six minutes and 19 seconds… excuse me, over the subsequent eight minutes and 16 seconds, we didn’t rating a single level till six minutes and 19 seconds on the sport clock, which places us at 28-15, that is eight minutes and 16 seconds Clemson was on an 18-2 run. Exterior of that, should you take out that, we have been plus three or one thing in opposition to Clemson.

Virginia, you have a look at it, we had it at 1:58 to go within the first half and we didn’t rating our subsequent level till 14:41 within the second half, which is seven minutes and 37 seconds and through that point, they went on a 25-3 run. You have a look at the opposite 32 minutes and no matter, we have been plus 4 or plus six or one thing like that within the recreation.

That was eight minutes and 20 seconds in opposition to Clemson, seven and a half minutes in opposition to Virginia, and three minutes and 20 seconds in opposition to North Carolina vast rowing three. Sure, that’s a part of the sport, that’s the reason you play 40 minutes, however our concern in these three video games, and look everybody is aware of you’re going to have stretches the place issues should not going to go nicely, it’s our stretches in these small segments the place the water breaks and there’s a flood and it simply spirals rapidly down that stretch.

That’s the primary concern in these three video games, is how will we not let the pipes break? There could be a drip and somewhat leak, however we simply cannot be having it the place it simply will get flooded and that must be corrected. Okay, so that you say, what’s that resolution, as a result of I’m a solution-focused particular person. There are a variety of issues we’ve to take a look at.

No. 1, we’ve checked out who’s on the ground throughout these occasions. No. 2, you already know clearly vs Virginia, we had a variety of turnovers and you aren’t getting pictures on the rim. No. 3, are there actions that we have to name after we want a bucket and after we sense it, that we simply name it to get us a bucket or to not less than get us fouled and the place we’ve to do one thing otherwise not less than to cease the bleeding and to cease the pipes breaking. No. 4, I prefer to have a timeout or two later within the recreation for the only cause of you by no means know once you want press breaks, however you by no means know once you’ll should name or use all 4 timeouts, use each timeout the second you see that coming, you already know or not less than use one or two if we needed to in that preliminary stretch.

So all issues are on the desk, we’re dissecting it, taking a look at it, attempting to make amends for it and you already know in these three ACC video games… once more, I acknowledge it’s a 40-minute recreation, sure you aren’t going to play excellent for 40 minutes, sure there’s going to be stretches the place it’s a recreation of runs, it’s the runs have gotten 25-3, 18-2, and 11-0. There may very well be a run the place it’s 12-6, 13-9, 10-3, however 25-3, 18-2, and 11-0 are simply the place the pipes break and it’s flooded. Then, we stabilize and we’re positive after that, however it’s throughout when these pipes break and that may be a downside and that must be corrected.”

The Yellow Jackets should keep away from most of these runs in the event that they wish to have any shot of upsetting No. 12 Miami at residence on Wednesday. The Hurricanes have among the best offenses within the ACC and the nation and Georgia Tech cannot afford to surrender a giant run to such a potent workforce. 

Georgia Tech and Miami will tip off tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. in Atlanta and will likely be televised on the ACC Regional Community.
