This is pretty great — the Georgia Tech basketball team celebrated a win over Nebraska on Wednesday by smashing a COVID piñata!
The Yellow Jackets were on the road — and defeated the Huskers in a 75-to-64 thrashing — and coach Josh Pastner had special plans to celebrate in the locker room.
#RoadKill = Gas Station ⛽️ 🍭

Usually, the GT celebrates a road victory by hitting a gas station after the game for a quick candy run.
But, since the pandemic has ruined the tradition, Pastner got a COVID piñata stuffed with goodies … and let star player Khalid Moore do the honors of smashing it up!
“We’re gonna take the ball and he’s gonna smash it,” Coach Pastner says.
The team LOVED IT — and devoured the candy!
Georgia Tech is now 2-2 on the season.
Next up for GT … the #20 ranked Florida State Seminoles — and that’s a road game the Yellow Jackets would LOVE to win.
Good luck …
