Yellow Jackets sting Cowboys with another thriller

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Win close one after close one, the way Georgia Tech's Yellow Jackets have done in five straight NCAA tournament thrillers, and people are bound to question whether you really belong.
No matter.
Their coach, Paul Hewitt, has known that feeling all season.
He brought Georgia Tech to Madison Square Garden last fall for the Preseason NIT, saw Texas Tech's Bobby Knight, Utah's Rick Majerus and UConn's Jim Calhoun all waiting there and later said: "Everybody was wondering who that guy was over in the corner."
He was referring to himself.
Hewitt spent his early childhood in Jamaica, didn't play competitive basketball until the 10th grade, and much of what he learned in his first high school coaching job came from watching videos or attending clinics featuring the giants of the game.
The stars were Eddie Sutton, Mike Krzyzewski and Calhoun, and how's this for a way to cap off a season as one of the most underappreciated coaches in the country? No sooner did Georgia Tech's first four improbable finishes land them a spot in the Final Four than Hewitt realized he'd be sharing the floor with Sutton, Krzyzewski and Calhoun.
"It's the old question of who doesn't belong here and why?" Hewitt said with a chuckle.
