ATLANTA -- Josh Pastner saw plenty of areas needed for improvement in his first game as Georgia Techs head coach.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.

NEW YORK -- Nick Kyrgios said he would quit tennis if he won the US Open, but here he had to quit his third-round match with injury.This was meant to be Kyrgios big moment -- under the Saturday night lights and the new roof at ?Arthur Ashe Stadium. The Australian certainly started in spectacular fashion to take the first set against Illya Marchenko.In particular, one swashbuckling point at 2-2 in the second set had the crowd on its feet, as he dived to send a backspinning volley over the net. Kyrgios beat his chest as he drank in the applause; this looked like a man who has the natural talent to become one of the best players in the world, if not the best.But then the right hip flexor injury that he struggled with in his first two matches, which forced him to withdraw in Washington, resurfaced to ruin his plans of going into the second week here.I feel like Ive been hit by a bus, Kyrgios said to the chair umpire, before eventually retiring down 4-6, 6-4, 6-1.He later dejectedly trudged into his interview session at the Bud Collins Media Center, and looked and sounded just as downbeat as he had after being blown away by Andy Murray at Wimbledon. Here it was for different reasons, because he was confident of going even further despite Stan Wawrinka lying in wait the next round.Im pretty disappointed, he said. You know, a great opportunity. Hes [Marchenko] a solid player. Im sure hes going to do well next round. But obviously, yeah, its not great, is it?Its tough. I dont like to retire. Its probably like the second or third time Ive done it.dddddddddddd Its never easy, of course. Ive got a lot of belief in my game to still win matches when Im not feeling great.Its not great. Yeah, I mean, to be fair, my hip was bothering me my first two matches and I got through. I guess it was just a matter of time.After losing the second set, the trainer was called and the injury assessed. I dont want to play anymore, Kyrgios said.The trainer convinced him to go off court for treatment, but when Kyrgios returned, he looked a shell of the player he was in the first two rounds at Flushing Meadows and in the first set of this match.Seemingly unable to chase anything down, he finally conceded defeat after Marchenko wrapped up the third set.ESPN analyst John McEnroe, the seven-time Grand Slam champion, seemed to suggest the 21-year-old could have tried to continue.If you dont want to be out there, dont do it anymore, he said on commentary.Patrick McEnroe, also on commentary for ESPN, questioned whether Kyrgios injury was down to his lack of conditioning and preparation. Kyrgios, who has no coach, was also of that opinion.Its the whole year leading up to it with the whole schedule, he said. I got to take more time and be more diligent with gym and everything so this doesnt happen to me.My physio has been helping me all week. He did everything he could. Ive been trying to fix it all week.?Its almost just hard mentally to play with something like that. ' ' '
