They closed out the back half of the season going 12-9. In ’07, it was a 17-0 start, followed by an 8-11 finish. Half of those eight wins came in the NIT tournament. In ’06, the Tigers won their first eleven games, then proceeded to lose ten of their next 13. Oliver Purnell’s track record is very clear – great starts, not so great finishes. Their 15-3 start here in 2010 must be taken with a grain of salt.

Georgia Tech, on the other hand, is the real deal. They are 8-1 at home this year, including an outright upset as seven point home underdogs against Duke last week. Their only home loss came in overtime against Florida State; a game in which point guard Iman Shumpert was sitting on the sidelines in street clothes. Shumpert is coming off a 30 point, six assist, four rebound, three steal game against North Carolina, leading the Yellow Jackets to an upset win over the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill. This is one player whose ability we do not want to underestimate, particularly in an uptempo game like this one.

Clemson’s starting point guard, Demontez Stitt, has started every game this year. He’s the team’s leading assist man and their second leading scorer. Stitt is doubtful to play this evening with a foot injury, and even if he suits up, he’ll be at less than 100%. That leaves untested sophomore Andre Young forced to match up at the point against Shumpert. And let’s not forget that this Georgia Tech defense forces more than 16 turnovers per game, while holding opposing teams to 37% shooting, a difficult matchup for the Tigers even if Stitt was healthy. The price here is cheap for the better team in the better spot.
2* Take Georgia Tech
