ATLANTA (AP) — A four-game losing streak has left Georgia Tech one spot from the bottom of the ACC standings. Unfortunately for coach Josh Pastner, that’s familiar territory. The Yellow Jackets finished 14th in the 15-team Atlantic Coast Conference last season. In Pastner’s six seasons, Georgia Tech has finished 10th or lower four times. The Yellow Jackets fell to 8-10 overall and 1-7 in the ACC with Tuesday night’s loss to North Carolina State. Georgia Tech plays another home game against Syracuse on Saturday. Thus far, Pastner has been unable to find a fix for his team’s dismal shooting.
