I remember that GA Tech game in great detail. We had a 12 point lead with about 3 minutes to go in the first half and then there was a huge charge call that went against us, just like the Kentucky game in 1997. Also, we missed the front end of a 1 and 1 and they cut the lead down to 5 by HT...Then they eventually took the lead with about 10 minutes left in the 2nd half and led by as much as 6 or 7 late, before Burton hit 2 long range 3's to get us within 2 at 93-91. Kenny Anderson missed the front end of a 1 and 1 with 5 seconds left and the ball was quickly passed up to Lynch at half court...he then dribbled toward the corner and let a off-balance 3 go, missing short, where Richard Coffey was waiting for the air ball...His rebound basket was about a second too late.
GA Tech was really lucky to have beaten MSU in the Friday night game. Anderson hit a long 2 in the last seconds with his foot on the line and somehow they credited him with a 3, allowing GA Tech to force OT, where they won when Steve Smith fouled out. ACC Refs again.
