Are you stunned Georgia Tech lost at Siena

This marks the third time in 11 seasons Georgia Tech has lost five nonconference games before Christmas under Paul Hewitt. This is significant because Tech under Hewitt has only once done better than 88 in ACC play.

Simple math: Five nonleague losses plus

eight conference losses plus another in the ACC tournament the Jackets have never won that event under Hewitt and you got 14. Fourteen is too many to get a team into the NCAA field. (Yeah, I know the field has expanded this season by three. Same difference.) And Hewitt has said he believes this team is good enough to be an NCAA team.

More history: The two other times Tech under Hewitt has lost five nonleague games before Christmas, it hasn just missed

the NCAA it has finished with a losing record. (The Jackets were 1516 in 20002001, 1517 in 20072008.) Should Tech have a losing season in 20102011, that would make three in the past four tries. That would be enough under ordinary circumstances to find a new coach, but the circumstances at the Flats aren ordinary. Hewitt has that perpetual rollover and his $7 million buyout.

On Wednesday the Jackets lost at Siena, where Hewitt used to coach. The Associated Press used the word to describe what the Saints had done to Tech, but why should anybody be stunned? Tech first loss of the season was by 17 points at Kennesaw State, which has gone 09 since. Its third loss came by 21 points at Northwestern, which just lost to St. John which was so desperate for a new coach it spoke with Hewitt in March. (Against Tech, Northwestern scored 55 points in the first 20 minutes.)

Now Siena. The Saints played a zone and dared Tech to shoot from the perimeter, something the Jackets had done well in a loss against Syracuse, which plays the nation best zone. Tech made eight secondhalf baskets against Siena, only three of them on jump shots. When you have a team laden with guards, you should be able to make jump shots. Not this night, alas.

Oh, and here the really depressing part: Siena secondleading scorer on the season didn play (bad ankle), and its leading scorer played sick. (Also hurt. Ryan Rossiter caught an elbow in the first half. Still scored 19 points.) And while there have been good Siena teams in years past the Saints have reached the past three NCAA tournaments this wouldn appear to be one. The victory improved the Saints record to 46.

As for Tech, it was Loss No. 5 against a schedule that hasn been terribly imposing. The Jackets have faced one ranked opponent. The aggregate record of the six teams they beaten is 3539. Only one ACC team has lost as many as five games already, and at least Wake Forest has the excuse of playing under a new coach. Tech, as we know, is working under the same coach.

We know that the guys on the tech team are athletes, but the shooting must improve for them to be relevant. Spend a practice just shooting, shooting tired afterw wind sprints, and shooting with pressure (have Nate Hicks / Daniel Miller take turns rushing a shooter). Don leave the gym until you hit 10/15 from 18 ft. With just a few more shots falling, they win. Also, what was up with the FT disparity last night (Sienna 27 to Tech 5)? Was the fouling really that lopsided?Report this comment

I a UGA fan and am usually delighted when Tech loses in any sport. But honestly, this is just sad. It no fun to gloat when you guys don even try. This may sound like a sarcastic question

but I swear it really isn Is your AD retarded? Honestly. That the only possible reason I can imagine signing ANYONE to a contract that cannot be gotten out of, especially if he a complete and utter loser. I respect Tech academic standards, but they obviously didn apply them to the AD position. Did he actually graduate from Tech, or was a GED good enough?Report this comment

The Grinch, you

are correct with regards to our AD. At the time, it was Dave Brane, who defended Chan Gailey by telling the fan base "Georgia Tech can win nine or 10 games. They will never do that consistently. That my feeling because of the type of program this is."

We can make you Nerds a deal. You need $7M to buy out the Wizard of Techwood lifetime contract correct? Just so happens, we make about that in a SINGLE home football game.

So if you sign on the dotted line, and agree to bring your JV football team to Athens to play Clean Old Fashioned Hate for the next 5 years, we will give you the $7M you need, while we keep the other $28M.
