Well, the Cats get GT in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge for the second consecutive year and third time in five years. Last year, we all remember that the Jackets beat NU, 52-51, in Atlanta, in a game that foretold the offensive struggles that would plague the Cats for much of the season.

I was in attendance for that game... ugh.

Nobody is going to full court press the Cats...

Except here is GT doing exactly that. Should they be drug tested too?

Several odd calls by the refs so far, maybe I need a rules refresher.

Lots of energy and they aren’t bothered by the press at this point.

That last lineup was offensively challenged, starters getting back in after the timeout

Not sure what Collins is expecting from a lineup of Turner-Ash-Kopp-Nance-Benson, but at least they're treading water.

If Law keeps playing like this, he's going to lead us to the tourney. He's risen to another level this season.

Whatever that surgery was, it appears to have worked.

What they lack in a true ball handler, they make up for athletically. Especially on defense. This team will be fun, especially once Taylor gets going.

Taylor is taking poor shots. Gaines is off a bit. Sloppy play. Except Law is playing at an All Big Ten level. I'm telling you,we need to get Ash healthy asap for the BT! Too many turnovers.

Vic Law is putting on a show. How about that putback slam? He can do it all.

Great game for the Cats so far. Best 20 min they've played to date. They need to keep up this defensive intensity!

GT has gone to the old standby offense of throwing themselves into the Cats and flailing. It’s working better than anything they’ve done so far.

Ash is not that great a player. Maybe he's not healthy but he doesn't have any offensive game at all. He's not the greatest Defender either. Law is definitely all Big Ten the way he's playing now. Wish Nance would do something more than just stand 25 feet away from the basket and pass the ball to someone else.

He definitely struggled on that fast break. Yikes!
