Virginia vs Georgia Tech Prediction
Virginia beat Georgia Tech in the only meeting this season, but it’s the Yellow Jackets that are playing the better ball right now. While both teams have benefited hit or miss all year, it’s Georgia Tech that’s won seven of its last 10 games. Those wins include upsets over Louisville, Clemson, Stanford, and Pitt. Virginia remains a rough offensive club from a shooting perspective and the defense has taken a step back in terms of efficiency. Virginia just plays at a slow pace, but nothing about this team is special. Georgia Tech has shown more at both ends of the floor and is playing with more life entering the tournament. I like Georgia Tech to beat Virginia and to advance in the ACC Tournament.
