Georgia Tech vs Marquette: Live Updates
After starting the season off 3-0, Georgia Tech suffered its first loss on Monday against Utah in the Fort Myers tip-off. The Utes got up big on the Yellow Jackets early, but Georgia Tech was able to mount a comeback and get back in the game. Despite the comeback attempt, Utah won the game 68-64 and now Georgia Tech must face Marquette, who lost by three to Mississippi on Monday.
While Georgia Tech's defense had been solid through the first three games, it was inconsistent in this game. Utah shot the ball well early, especially from three, and that is why Georgia Tech got down early in the game. The defense did improve, but the Yellow Jackets' offense is still struggling.
Georgia Tech did not score until nearly six minutes came off the clock and by the time they scored, they were already down double digits. They are going to need to have a better start tonight against Marquette.
