NC State vs Georgia Tech Prediction 

Georgia Tech comes into this matchup playing some decent basketball over the last two weeks and they will be at home for this game. The Yellow Jackets are shooting 44.1% from the field this year and they have been pretty inconsistent with their scoring. NC State has alternated wins and losses over their last five games, but they only have four ACC wins on the season. The Wolfpack are shooting 42.9% from the field this year and they are 0-8 in their last eight road games. These two teams are trending in different directions and I don’t think we can trust NC State at all. Take Georgia Tech to cover at home.
