By Ken Sugiura - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
NEW YORK — The final score of the NIT championship game was 88-56 in TCU’s favor. By margin of defeat, it was Tech’s second-worst loss of the season and tied an NIT championship game record for margin of victory.
Still, the Yellow Jackets made inroads into the margin at various points, gaining the better of play at times. They were not able, however, to sustain momentum, paving the way to defeat. A look at four junctures of the game when Tech had a chance to challenge the Horned Frogs but came up short.
1. Already down 10-1, with TCU having scored on five of its first six possessions, Georgia Tech appeared to have gotten a stop when J.D. Miller shot an airballed 3-pointer from the corner. Forward Quinton Stephens was in position to gain possession, but he couldn’t secure the ball, and it went out of bounds. It appeared that he was being restrained by a TCU player from behind. With the second chance, Miller scored on a dunk off the inbounds pass to make the score 12-1.
