FRIDAY REWIND: Men's Basketball Shocks Tar Heels

Highlights from Georgia Tech vs. North Carolina (ACC Digital Network)

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets played a great game, got late-game heroics from a freshman, and upset the No. 3 North Carolina Tar Heels, 74-73. Naithan George got Armando Bacot on a pick and roll switch with 10 seconds remaining and took the big man to the hole for the go-ahead basket. RJ Davis had a shot attempt in traffic as time expired, but couldn’t get it to fall. It was a back-and-forth game throughout, with Miles Kelly, Kyle Sturdivant and George each scoring in double figures for Damon Stoudamire’s club.
