Oliver to have thumb surgery

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets forward Brian Oliver will undergo surgery to repair a broken left thumb.

The sophomore suffered the injury during the team’s loss at Clemson. He is averaging almost 11 points and more than four rebounds per game.

Oliver is the team’s third leading scorer and is expected to miss at least three weeks, but it probably won’t matter anyway.

Georgia Tech is fighting for nothing than an NIT berth at best as they sit 10-12 on the year and 3-6 in conference play. ( Read More…)

Nesbitt continues rushing ways as Tech starts with rout

By Bud L. Ellis

The defending Atlantic Coast Conference champions had little trouble in a 41-10 rout of South Carolina State in the season opener Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Nesbitt, the Tech quarterback who busted through with a breakout 2009 season, kept on keeping on in his first act of 2010. ( Read More…)
