Syracuse Basketball: 5 things you need to know about Georgia Tech hoops

3. When Georgia Tech is playing their ideal basketball, what does that look like?

"Georgia Tech’s ideal basketball is a combination of great defense, heavy time possession, and strong shooting from the outside. The Jackets know they don’t have the best strength and can struggle down low (tons of missed layups), they also know they have a few strong shooters from the outside, so ideally they would like a good chunk of their points to come from beyond the arch. Unfortunately in game scenarios, the Jackets struggle from beyond the perimeter immensely. But it all comes back to their defense, the Jackets have one of the best defenses in the country and can keep most teams between 50-65 points. They’re not afraid to be physical and they have a strong ability to suffocate the opposing ball handler. They don’t put up a ton of steals but they force their fair share of turnovers."
