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…)

Joshua Nesbitt picked up where he left off last season, and that’s a very good thing for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
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…)

Game week finally is here for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, and we’re about to find out if this year’s version of the black and gold is good enough to successfully defend the Atlantic Coast Conference championship.
It begins Saturday with a non-conference matchup against South Carolina State.

The first intrasquad scrimmage of the preseason for the defending Atlantic Coast Conference champions featured some of the trends that lead to a successful 2009.
Joshua Nesbitt rushed for a 2-yard touchdown and hit Stephen Hill on a 6-yard scoring strike, and took the brunt of a couple of big hits as Georgia Tech shook off the offseason rust and ramped up preparations for the 2010 season in front of an estimated 2,000 fans Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
