GREENSBORO, N.C. — Off its game at the start and behind for most of the game, Georgia Tech found a way into the second round of the ACC tournament.
Behind by as many as 11 points early in the second half and five with two minutes left, the No. 13-seed Yellow Jackets capitalized on the scoring touch of guard Miles Kelly and a series of winning plays to knock out No. 12-seed Florida State, 61-60, on Tuesday afternoon in the opening game of the first round at the Greensboro Coliseum.
“I want to give an incredible shout-out to our young men, our team,” coach Josh Pastner said. “They had to fight, scrap, kick, claw their way to find to be able to win this game. I’m just so darned proud of these guys.”
