Hank McCamish Pavilion. Atlanta, GA - Georgia Tech got blown out, but the Thrillerdome was still thrilling as fans were able to watch the potential number one pick for the upcoming NBA Draft in Tavon Cash. The 6'4" freshman guard finished the game with 17 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, and 5 steals in 24 minutes. He also caused much trouble on defense for his matchup senior Josh Heath who turned over the ball 7 times tonight.
The Hurricanes were up as much as 36 points during the game, but the Yellow Jackets went on a 11-2 run in the last two minutes of the game when the Hurricanes had their second unit subbed in. If Georgia Tech wanted to win, they should have played freshman Josh Okogie who did not step on the court once the whole game. Who knows, maybe that Okogie kid would playing in the NBA one day.
