Georgia Tech seeks redemption after last season's slump
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
GREENSBORO, N.C. — There have been times this season after a defeat or some other near late-game debacle when Iman Shumpert has locked himself in Georgia Tech's tape room and flipped on video of a relic of his not-so-distant past.
Serving as perhaps a morbid but motivational reminder, the images of Florida State's Derwin Kitchen nailing a layup and subsequent free throw — as well as those of a rim-rattling, last-second Shumpert miss — have served as a powerful example for the sophomore guard.
"It was a disappointing loss," Shumpert said.
After rallying inside the Georgia
Dome to take a late second half lead with mere moments remaining in their second-round ACC tournament game with the Seminoles, the Yellow Jackets saw one of their worst seasons come to a dramatic end in a 64-62 thriller. Coming within a kind bounce of watching their sordid 12-win season take an unexpectedly positive turn, several Yellow Jackets fell to the floor in immediate despair.
But those feelings couldn't last for too long.
"He can't hang his head too low," then-senior Georgia Tech guard Lewis Clinch said of Shumpert. "He's got to get prepared for his future."
His future is now.
With the memories of last year's finale still fresh in mind, Shumpert leads Georgia Tech into the Greensboro Coliseum on Thursday night for a chance at redemption when it meets North Carolina in the first round of ACC tournament play.
Defending national champions, the Tar Heels (16-15, 5-11) appear to be a vastly different group this season, as graduation and the NBA draft pilfered some of their best talent. Now a freshman-laden team, North Carolina is hoping to salvage something positive this week in its own backyard.
"They're a good team; they're young a lot like us," Georgia Tech head coach Paul Hewitt said following Wednesday afternoon's shoot-around inside the host arena. "If you look at the turnover numbers, they're at the bottom of the charts just like us. It's a characteristic of two young teams."
The Yellow jacket and Tar Heels rank ninth and 10th in the conference, respectively, in assist-toturnover ratio.
Thursday night's meeting will be the third this season for the teams. Georgia Tech won the previous contests, and is hoping to do something it has not done since Hewitt's first with the Yellow Jackets: beat a team three times in one season.
During the 2000-01 season, the Yellow lackets beat Virginia three times, including an opening-round
win in the ACC tournament. In the 1984-85 season, the Yellow Jackets also beat North Carolina three times en route to winning their first ACC championship in the conference tournament.
"I never really thought about (doing that) until we had to play Clemson last year three times," Shumpert said. "(Assistant) Coach (Pete) Zaharis told me, 'It's hard to beat a team three times.' And that's sort of what gave us confidence going into playing Clemson."
Before losing to Florida State last year, Georgia Tech beat Clemson in the opening round of the conference tournament to snap a two-game skid against the Tigers that year.
"Now that we're on the other end of it, you actually know how tough it is to beat a team three times," Shumpert said. "It's something that we're prepared for and we've got to come out and show it (Thursday)"
Much of what the Yellow Jackets believe must show against North Carolina rests on the strength of their defense.
"With Roy Williams' teams, generally speaking, you've got to get back in transition because they're going to push the ball right down your throat. We've done enough the last couple of days (in practice) to emphasize it." Hewitt said of his defense.
