Georgia Tech Tournament Resume

Georgia Tech (19-11, 8-8, T-4th ACC)
Seed: #5 Albuquerque
How they got here: At-large bid
Against the Field (2-9):
L (N) Gonzaga 73-85
L @Kansas 68-70
L @N. Carolina 69-91
L @NC State 68-76
W Wake Forest 102-101
L @Duke 65-82
L NC State 51-53
L Duke 56-60
L @Wake Forest 91-98
W (N) N. Carolina 78-75
L (N) Duke

The good: Played good competition throughout the year. B.J. Elder. Good defense. Different team with B.J. Let's see if that translates into better quality wins.

The bad: 6-10 vs Top 100. 6-8 Road/Neutral record. Only 6-4 in the last 10 games. 2-9 vs the field. That last number is absolutely terrible. I cannot belive they get a 5 seed with that kind of record against tourney teams. They played tough teams, fine. Shouldn't you have to win a few more to get such a high seed? I would be skeptical of this team getting very far with the numbers mentioned above. Just think if they did blow that lead against North Carolina, where does that leave Georgia Tech? 8, 9, 10 seed? Can't believe one win is worth about 3-5 seed positions. Would have a 1-10 record vs the field without the NC win.
