Rotation # 716
Georgia Tech -5.5 over Virginia Tech (win)
Tonight’s matchup is between two struggling teams in the ACC. Virginia Tech doesn’t have the talent like in years past, and Georgia Tech is dealing with a few injuries that left them with a shorter bench. The Yellow Jackets are 2-6 in conference play and are losers of four straight. The good news for Georgia Tech is they have a slight size advantage over a small Hokies team, so I expect Baye Ndongo to have a productive evening. Lance Terry, Nathan George, and Javian McCollum should spread the ball around to put up easy shots and force key turnovers. Virginia Tech is a slow-paced offense, so it will be hard for them to mount a comeback if they trail at any point in the game. The Yellow Jackets need a big win at home to break out of their slump. Take Georgia Tech.
