The Good, The Bad & The Ugly From Georgia Tech 95-72 Loss To Stanford

Georgia Tech fell to Stanford 95-72 on the road to conclude its two-game road trip in California. After a stellar shooting performance in the first half, the Yellow Jackets couldn’t quite match it in the second half and struggled to keep up the same shooting prowess. However, their opponent caught fire and was able to go 5-11 from three-point range and separate from the Yellow Jackets. Big in that was Ebuka Okorie, who netted a new career-high and made history becoming just the fifth freshman in ACC history with a 40-point game.
