Fsu vs. Ga. Tech-The Last Game
Freshman Javaris Crittenton scored 23 points, senior Mario West scored 18 and Georgia Tech overcame a slow start to defeat Florida State 88-80 on Jan. 13 at Alexander Memorial Coliseum in Atlanta. Florida State trailed by as many as 13 in the opening half before closing to 41-34 at the break. But the Seminoles got off a sloppy start in the second half, turning the ball over on six straight possessions at one point, and never got any closer than five points the rest of the way. Georgia natives Toney Douglas and Al Thornton led the Seminoles. Douglas scored 22 points, while Thornton had 20.
