Not an ideal place in the schedule for this Georgia Tech team, as they're basically the opposite of NC State. They're in a group with Virginia and Miami as by far the best defenses Duke will face in the ACC - they turn their opponents into teams who can't shoot. However, Georgia Tech can't shoot, either. Daniel Miller is a poor man's Jeff Withey on defense, blocking lots of shots without fouling. Robert Carter has proven to be clearly the best big man recruit out of Georgia - someone who did not throw an absurd ceremony for himself upon committing to Georgia Tech and who could've been very useful to Duke over the next few years. If Amile Jefferson wants more of Josh Hairston's minutes in this game, Jefferson is going to have to bulk up in a hurry.
