Georgia Tech couldn’t exactly blame overlooking Kennesaw State for a slow start Monday night — not a program three years removed from a road loss to the Owls, signaling the beginning of the end for coach Paul Hewitt.
Trae Golden had an excuse, though. He was a freshman at Tennessee back then.
But it was Golden who used four drives to the basket in a five-minute span to snap the Yellow Jackets into shape late in the first half of a 74-57 win over the Owls.
Golden scored eight points during a 17-2 run in the final six minutes of the first half. The senior point guard, who finished with 15 points, scored 10 of them in 17 minutes in the first half.
