Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Preview: GT Looking to Continue Late-Season Surge
Georgia Tech closed at 72-57 after losing to Virginia in Charlottesville, 72-57. The Yellow Jackets failed to overcome a slow start versus the Cavaliers, and they’ll look to avoid falling to the Fighting Irish for a third time this season. GT is scoring 70.7 points per game, on 41.9% shooting, while allowing 74.9 ppg, and they’re 3-7 over their last ten games.
Georgia Tech Team Profile
- Damon Stoudamire’s squad plays at an average pace, averaging 71.0 possessions per game (160th), but they’ve been inconsistent from the outside, shooting just 32% from three (264th).
- Junior guard Miles Kelly (14.1 ppg, 5.6 rpg) picked up an injury in the Virginia matchup, and his status should be monitored for this game.
- Freshman forward Baye Ndongo went for a game-high 21 points in this UVA defeat, and he’s leading GT in rebounding (8.3), while scoring 12.0 ppg.
- First-year guard Nathan George scored 16 points in the road win over Wake Forest, and he leads Georgia Tech in assists (4.6), while scoring 9.3 ppg.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish Preview: ND Seeking Third Head-to-Head Win of the Season
Notre Dame finished at 12-19 after losing to Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, 82-76. The Fighting Irish had their rally cut short by the Hokies, and they’ll look to get back into the win column here against the Jackets. ND is scoring 63.5 points per game, on 40.6% shooting, while allowing 66.6 ppg, and they’re 3-7 over their previous ten games.
Notre Dame Team Profile
- Micah Shrewsberry's team has played very slow this season, averaging 67.0 possessions per game (336th), and they’ve struggled to shoot from deep, hitting just 28.2% of their treys (338th).
- Freshman guard Markus Burton has held his own down the stretch, and after going for 24 points or more in three of the final five games, he leads the Irish in scoring (17.3) and assists (4.3).
- Seton Hall transfer Tae Davis scored 16 points in the February 15th win over GT, and he leads ND in rebounding (5.2), while averaging 8.9 ppg.
- First-year guard Braeden Shrewsberry has reached double figures in four of the last six games, and he’s second on the team at 9.9 ppg.

Georgia Tech vs Notre Dame Prediction
Georgia Tech has annually served as a thorn in the ACC’s side since their trip to the title game back in ‘04, but if they’re missing their best player, they may find trouble extending their season here. If Miles Kelly misses this game, Notre Dame may be able to advance, and even if he does suits up, I still like backing the Under with these two pedestrian offenses set to face off.
