How 'bout them Jackets!?

Tonight I got to head to the McThriller Dome (Alexander Memorial Coliseum, for those unfamiliar, home of the basketball Yellow Jackets) to see Georgia Tech take on the Blue Devils from Duke. I was totally excited to be there to watch the Jackets whoop up on the #11 Blue Devils. The start of the game was not in favor of the Jackets, but around the five minute mark the tide changed and Tech took control for the rest of the night. The McThriller Dome was rockin'. It was so electric in the building every play was a chorus of cheers or roaring boo's.

Ra'sean Dickey played like a BEAST tonight. Could not be stopped by McRoberts or any of the other McFool's on that team.

Anthony Morrow was on fire from beyond the arc. This is how it sounded when he got the ball. Catch. Shoot. Drain. Explosion of cheer's.

Javaris Crittenton controled the game phenomenally. Remember, this kid is a freshman and he handles the rock like a seasoned vet.

Thaddeus Young played big tonight definitely living up to the hype he has and so rightly deserves.

Mario West shut them down when he came in the game. Not enough can be said for "Super Mario." A few big steals led to a few big points.

"Mouha" (Mouhammad Faye) played well.

Jeremis Smith was beastlike much the same as Ra'Sean.

Tech rolled to a 74-63 win over the 11th ranked Blue Devils. After the game the students rushed the court. It was a huge win and it will show people that the Jackets mean business.

Do you remember the feeling of the National Title game run a few years ago?

Get ready to feel it again.
This time we take it all.
