    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia Tech had a pretty simple game plan: Get the ball to Will Bynum and let him do the rest.


    Bynum scored a career-high 25 points and Georgia Tech (No. 14 ESPN/USA Today, No. 12 AP) dominated the final 10 minutes, pulling away for an 81-71 victory over Maryland on Saturday night.


    The junior generously listed as a 6-footer scored his first 15 points on 3-pointers, missing only once. When the Terrapins began guarding him tighter, Bynum blew past them with a crossover dribble that would make Allen Iverson proud.


    "I pretty much knew I had 'em," Bynum said, "when I hit a couple of 3s."</div>

    Man this shocked me,I figured Maryland would be alot tougher to beat,especially after taking out UNC like they did..

    It was in G Tech. They are a tough team to beat, especially at home, so there's no surprise to me that the Terps lost.

    This was expected,Georgia Tech were never going to lose this game at home.They are too tough in their own building.

    I know they were home..but I wasn't expecting it...I figured since the Terps took out UNC that it would prove a catalyst for this game....I was either underestimating Tech or overestimating the Terps...but I did figure Maryland would win this one

    Don't worry you weren't the only one who have underestimated Tech this season [​IMG]

    Terps are an inconsistant team,they can play great one game,then completely look out of their depth the next.They are a very young team so It should be expected.
