Head Coaches: Syracuse - Jim Boeheim (47th year, 1,111-433) | Georgia Tech - Josh Pastner (seventh year, 102-106)

Coach Bio: Pastner played his collegiate basketball as a walk-on at Arizona. His coaching career began with the Wildcats as an assistant in 2002. He moved to Memphis in 2008 to become an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator under John Calipari. Pastner would take over as head coach of Memphis after Calipari left for Kentucky. The Tigers would achieve five 20+ win seasons in seven years under Pastner, including three NCAA tournament appearances.

Pastner would be hired as Georgia Tech’s head coach following the 2015-16 season. He won 21 games in his first season with the Yellow Jackets and finished as the runner-up in the NIT to TCU. However, Georgia Tech wouldn’t replicate the success of Pastner’s first season, finishing below 20 wins in every year since.

Last Year: Georgia Tech couldn’t replicate a successful 2020-21 season, winning its fewest games under Pastner with 12 and losing its most conference games under Pastner with a 5-15 record.

Last Game: Georgia Tech couldn’t keep up with NC State, losing 78-66 to the Wolfpack. The Yellow Jackets shot under 40% from the floor, while the Wolfpack shot over 50%

If Syracuse Loses: Jim Boeheim is required to wear a face shield for his next game.
