ATLANTA — One was a pure jump shooter. Another was a low-post player with a propensity for snatching rebounds and swatting shots. The other was a ballhandler who always seemed to find the open man.

They were “like brothers; the three amigos,” the shooter said.

But the tripartite band has already been broken slightly. One is already gone.

Soon, the other two — just like the building they played in for four years — will be gone, too.

On Sunday afternoon, Georgia Tech seniors Lance Storrs (the shooter) and Moe Miller (the passer) will be honored as the Yellow Jackets say their first of many goodbyes across the next few weeks.

In addition to the game against Miami (18-12, 6-9 ACC) being the last career home game for the pair, the contest also ends the regular season. And while the Yellow Jackets are hopeful four consecutive ACC tournament wins can take them to the NCAA tournament, at some point within the next month, the entire season will be over. A bow finally and officially will be tied on this dramatic year.

“I’m sure both of them will tell you that they wish they could have done some things differently or better,” Georgia Tech head coach Paul Hewitt said, “but I can tell you this: for four years, they have been very competitive with their work habits — both on the court and in the classroom — and they’ve been tremendous off the court.”

Storrs and Miller came to Georgia Tech during the 2007-08 season along with forward Gani Lawal, who left last season to be a second-round Phoenix Suns draft pick.

Along with the goodbyes for Storrs and Miller, the program will spend the day reminiscing on Alexander Memorial Coliseum and the 54 seasons it has hosted Georgia Tech basketball. At the close of the season, the iconic midtown Atlanta building will undergo demolition as a renovation project ensues.

During the next 18 months, the arena will be ripped apart so that a newer, more economically friendly and cost effective $45-million structure can be put in its place. Only the original roof and support beams will remain in the soon-to-named Hank McCamish Pavilion.

“For 11 years, it’s been a tremendous home court for us,” Hewitt said.

Asked if he was planning to take away a souvenir from the Coliseum, he said he’d rather take a win.

Victories have been tough to come by during Storrs’ and Miller’s careers. Their first two seasons had more losses than wins, and this year appears destined to end the same way.

Georgia Tech (12-17, 4-11) has shown recent promise, though. The Yellow Jackets blasted lowly Wake Forest by 26 on Thursday and have begun seeing shooting percentages climb.

Hewitt credits the latter with changes made to the starting rotation three games ago. With freshman Jason Morris getting early-game minutes ahead of sophomore Glen Rice, Jr., top scorer Iman Shumpert has been put in better position to make baskets, Hewitt said.

“The change to Jason in the starting lineup, it’s really opened the floor a little bit,” Hewitt said. “Plus, he’s shooting the ball really, really well from 3. Having him out there has really spaced it out for Iman and then Glen off the bench provides a little juice in taking the ball to the rim.”

Since getting his first career start a week-and-a-half ago against Virginia, Morris is 6-for-12 from behind the 3-point arc. Previous to his insertion in the lineup, sophomore Brian Oliver had been the team’s top long-range threat. He has been shelved since mid-January, when he broke his non-shooting thumb.

According to Hewitt, Oliver will return to action next Thursday when the Yellow Jackets open ACC tournament play in Greensboro, N.C. Oliver will shoot in an individual session before Saturday’s game to complete his rehab.

While scoring is what the Yellow Jackets hope to get out of Oliver when he returns, it is precisely what they’ve received from Miller.

Since the Duke game last month, the guard has had three double-digit games in four tries. In addition to his 13 against the Blue Devils, he had 20 against Wake Forest.

Near the end of a season appears to be when he is at his best. Last season, after battling through freak injuries near the start of the year, he turned it on in February and became a key starter and scorer throughout the ACC tournament as well as Georgia Tech’s two-game NCAA tournament run.

So what is it about the end of the year for Miller?

“It’s just the pressure building up and the competitiveness and the desire to win and doing whatever it takes,” Miller said.

That said, expect he and Storrs to try to end their days at Georgia Tech in one way: by winning.
