ATLANTA -- Josh Pastner saw plenty of areas needed for improvement in his first game as Georgia Techs head coach. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Eric-Tomlinson-Jersey/ .He wants the pace to speed up. He wants players making quicker cuts on offense. He doesnt want to call a play every time his team has possession.I want our guys to be able to play with freedom and structure and make plays, but with that comes lots of responsibility, Pastner said. Theyve got to understand how to play the right way.Josh Okogie scored 18 points, Ben Lammers added 15 points and Pastner won his Georgia Tech debut with a 70-55 victory over Tennessee Tech on Friday night.Quinton Stephens finished with 12 points and six rebounds for the Yellow Jackets.Lammers output was a career high, as were his five blocks. Okogie was 7 for 9 from the field and had five rebounds.Micaiah Henry finished with 15 points and JaCardo Hawkins added 10 points for Tennessee Tech.Pastner went 167-73 and led Memphis to four NCAA tournaments in seven seasons before joining the Yellow Jackets last spring. Hes beginning a major rebuilding project with one of the nations least experienced rosters.Pastner had four players making their first college start -- Lammers, Okogie, Abdoulaye Gueye and Justin Moore. Stephens started 14 games last season.The Jackets were without Josh Heath, who was suspended for the first four games of the season for violating team rules. Tadric Jackson missed the game with a hamstring injury.Georgia Tech never trailed after Stephens jumper gave the Jackets a one-point lead in the first 5 minutes of the first half.Okogies 3-pointer in front of the Jackets bench pushed the lead to 61-48 with 3:59 remaining. Stephens 3 made it 64-50 a couple of possessions later.Pastner has high expectations for Okogie, who starred at nearby Shiloh High School in Snellville. Okogie played 21 minutes, about 10 minutes less than the other starters because he picked up three fouls in the first half. Pastner said two of them were 94 feet from the basket.I think Josh Okogie has a chance down the road to be a really good ACC player, Pastner said. Im a big, big fan of Josh Okogie. I just didnt think he played real well tonight. He can play way better. Hes got that ability.Tennessee Tech guard Aleksa Jugovic began the night shooting 39.4 percent in 259 career attempts on 3s, but he went just 1 for 6 beyond the arc and finished with five points.BIG PICTURETennessee Tech: The Golden Eagles went 19-12 last season, 11-5 in the Ohio Valley Conference. They were picked in preseason to finish fourth in the East Division for the second straight year.We lost three really good seniors last year off a good team, coach Steve Payne said. They are hard to replace. The guys that were our go-to were offensive guys, and everybody is playing a new role or we have some new guys playing.Georgia Tech: The departures of last years most productive players -- Marcus Georges-Hunt, Adam Smith, Charles Mitchell and Nick Jacobs -- left a major scoring and rebounding void, about 53 points and 21 boards per game. Pastner said earlier that he likely will change the starting lineup a few times in November to decide who best fits the role.UP NEXTTennessee Tech: Hosts Central Michigan on Monday. It will be the first meeting between the two schools.Georgia Tech: Host Southern on Monday. Southern is the second of five straight home games for the Jackets.---Online:AP College Basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Chandler-Catanzaro-Jersey/ . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Wesley-Walker-Jersey/ . With his new coach and six-time Grand Slam singles champion Boris Becker watching him during an official match for the first time, Djokovic appeared tentative early against the Slovakian player, who often appeared content to keep the ball in play. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Hoodie/ . John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. If England are to be given a fight over the five days in Chittagong, Bangladeshs top six batsmen will have to be the ones at the forefront. They will have to attack, consolidate and defend whenever necessary and leave very little to do for the rest of the line-up that is filled with newcomers, those still raw at the top level and returnees.Since the first Test squad was announced earlier this week, there has been much discussion about the lack of experience among the four - Mehedi Hasan, Sabbir Rahman, Nurul Hasan and Kamrul Islam Rabbi - who never played Tests, and the other four - Soumya Sarkar, Shuvagata Hom, Shafiul Islam and Taijul Islam - who played so few. But the story should be about the six who have given this team the backbone by developing into the strongest batting line-up in their history.The initial thrust will be provided by Tamim Iqbal, Bangladeshs leading scorer in each format, who will renew the countrys most successful batting partnership for any wicket with the born-again Imrul Kayes. The talented but hardly used Mominul Haque comes at No. 3 to press on and consolidate with Mahmudullah, Bangladeshs most versatile batsman. Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan will be expected to take advantage of their overall experience to push on from a good start or if things go wrong, stop a top-order collapse. They will also have to guide the middle to lower order for the rest of the innings.Both Tamim and Imrul are in good form, with Tamim now the leading scorer for Bangladesh in Tests and the first to reach 5,000 ODI runs. Over the last two years, his highlight has been a more mature approach off the field which has led to a fitter body and a freer mind. His 206 against Pakistan was a masterpiece in concentration as he pulled Bangladesh out of a potential defeat.His 312-run stand with Imrul in Khulna was the first 300-plus opening stand in the second innings of a Test. The pair has averaged nearly 50 per innings, and as much as it has to do with Tamims effervescence, Imrul has lately become a forceful character.Long known as the meek half of the batting pair, Imrul has come of age since that Khulna Test in which he kept wicket for 132 overs (in his first ever stint as a wicketkeeper after Mushfiqur had been injured) before hitting 150 in nearly six hours. He still lost his place in the limited-overs format with the emergence of Soumya but kept making runs in Tests and after the 2015 off-season training regime, Imrul has become a completely different batsman. He now tries to pose trouble to bowlers every ball, and found success against England during this tour with a century in the one-day warm match then another in the first ODI.. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Buster-Skrine-Jersey/. It will be interesting to see how Tamim and Imrul can now go against Englands Test attack.Mominul, the left hander whose Test average hasnt dropped below 50 since making his debut in 2013, should be provided some cushion as this will also be his first international cricket in 14 months, having now become a Test regular (or limited-overs outsider). He will have the hardest time among the top six given that he has only played 15 first-class matches during this time, though he has averaged 45.91.After Mominul comes Mahmudullah. In the gap between Bangladeshs Tests, he has become the teams main big hitter in T20s and in the last two years he has also made himself into the ODI sides chief accelerator in the middle overs, in addition to his role of calming down the middle order in Tests. It is unlikely that Mahmudullah will confuse his roles in the three format, rather it could boost his run-making in Tests.His brother-in-law and the Test captain Mushfiqur will once again have a lot in his plate but he is the most experienced player in this squad. The burden of being the captain, wicketkeeper and middle-order dependable could weigh down on him but to keep the team on the right track, in the most challenging of situations, is what Mushfiqur trains so hard for, so it wouldnt be a huge surprise if he thrives on the workload.Shakib will be the other senior player with a lot on his plate. He is the teams only bowler of note, be it in a wicket-taking role or in restricting the scoring rate. It will not be possible for him to do both at the same time, but for most of his Test career, he has had little time between a marathon bowling spell and a batting stint. He would certainly hope to have less to do but that is unlikely given the make-up of the team.There wont be any let-up in their responsibilities when they are not batting or bowling, too. Mushfiqur being the captain, will need to take extra care of all the youngsters. Tamim is known to take them under their wing while Shakib will remain the figurehead, the one they would be awed by, but someone whose one word of encouragement could spark something out of a debutant.All six of Bangladeshs top order will have to play their part in seizing the key moments - passages of play, sessions or entire days if they can - if the team are to take control, but it is within their ability. They have always relished Test cricket, although hardly get play any these days. This series against England is a chance for them to show their development as cricketers and characters.
