Rotation # 647
Georgia Tech +8.5 over Notre Dame (win)
Georgia Tech demolished the Fighting Irish three weeks ago in Atlanta. The Yellow Jackets got out to a monster lead and coasted home. Notre Dame will be the home team tonight, with Markus Burton in the lineup, who missed that game. Georgia Tech is 0-5 on the road so far, but in their defense were underdogs in those games. Neither team will make noise in the ACC this year and will most likely miss the NCAA Tournament. There isn’t much separation between both programs. Both teams had the same conference record last year and are trying to decide if they are on the right road with their head coach in year number two with the program. The Irish should not be huge favorites just because they are at home. The Yellow Jackets, led by senior Guard Lance Terry, play at a fast enough pace to stay in the game. Terry missed the last game, and the Yellow Jackets showed great character winning without him. He should suit up tonight after a battle with the flu. Baye Ndongo is great around the rim at blocking shots and securing rebounds. This spread is a bit too high. Take Georgia Tech.
