Alabama A&M vs Georgia Tech Prediction

I’ll stay with Georgia Tech. There’s not a lot to get excited about here with both teams struggling, though. the Jackets were drilled by Duke in their last game, riding a bad second half to just 36.2 percent shooting and a 36-25 rebounding disadvantage. Georgia Tech has been below 66 points in four of their last five games (a 1-4 run) but to be fair they’ve also played some tough teams in that time.

As for Alabama A&M, they shot well (48.3 percent) in the Samford game but also coughed up 16 turnovers and gave up 58.2 percent shooting on the other side. The Bulldogs have given up 82 or more points in five straight games (all losses), so Georgia Tech should have plenty of open looks here.
