Georgia Tech's men's basketball team, led by first-year head coach Damon Stoudamire, has achieved significant victories over top-ranked ACC teams, including Duke and North Carolina. The team's 3-7 ACC record includes wins against UNC, Duke, and Clemson, all with high NET ratings. Stoudamire's success has drawn praise for the team's bright future and its impact on the ACC. The feat of beating both Duke and UNC in his debut season places Stoudamire in elite company, alongside only two other first-year ACC head coaches in the last 30 seasons. The team's remarkable performance has garnered attention and admiration, with the head coach showing emotion after the upset win over North Carolina.

Damon Stoudamire is just the third first-year ACC head coach in the last 30 seasons to beat both Duke and North Carolina in his debut campaign, per @ESPNStatsInfo. The other two were Sidney Lowe and Kevin Keatts.
Crazy first season in the @theACC for @Iambiggie503 at @GTMBB. The Yellow Jackets have 3 ACC wins -- home over Duke and North Carolina and in double overtime at Clemson! Wild. https://t.co/CkSoVMjkxc

It's not insignificant to have wins over Duke and North Carolina in the same season. Nice work tonight by Georgia Tech.
I, for one, welcome Georgia Tech, the Triangle’s new basketball overlords.
My friend @RussHoops would be proud of first-year Tech head coach Damon Stoudamire who has taken down both Duke and UNC in his first year at Georgia Tech. Thinking of the big man right now.
Georgia Tech is now 3-7 in the ACC. The 3 wins are against UNC, Duke and Clemson -- the teams with the 3 highest NET ratings in the league. Go figure.
Every time I’ve watched Georgia Tech - which, admittedly, has only been twice against Duke, and tonight - I’ve been impressed. And was equally so with Damon Stoudamire after the close loss in Durham. Bright future, etc., and a good GT in hoops is good for the ACC.
Georgia Tech giving UNC a run for its money. https://t.co/ChBg6dys1N
