Ken Davis of NBCSports.com published a Q&A last night. The first question and, appropriately, the title deals with Georgia Tech: Do Tech a favor, Derrick — be more assertive | NBCSports.com
The pertinent quotes:
Q: What do you think of Georgia Tech? Has Derrick Favors turned the Jackets back into a Final Four contender, or should I just wait for Paul Hewitt to botch it up in ACC play again?
— Reggie Ray, AtlantaA: Reggie, at first glance I thought you were being a little harsh on coach Hewitt and the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech went into Tuesday night with two losses. But they came out of Tuesday night with a third loss, a very bad loss that will turn up the heat on Hewitt no doubt.

Tech should be the third best team in the ACC behind Duke and North Carolina, with a chance to vault over the Tar Heels. But the Yellow Jackets already have one ACC loss (to Florida State) and jump into conference play with a home game against Duke, followed by road games at Virginia and UNC. This is a big stretch ahead — and you can be sure Hewitt feels it.
Nothing there I disagree with. At Georgia Tech, no matter the sport, when you lose to Georgia, you feel the heat turned up a bit. Whether this is fair or not is debatable, but reality and equality aren’t necessarily mutually inclusive concepts.
