Clemson @ Georgia Tech

Current Records: Clemson 12-9; Georgia Tech 9-12

What to Know

The Clemson Tigers and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are set to square off in an ACC matchup at 2 p.m. ET Feb. 5 at McCamish Pavilion. The teams split their matchups last year, with Georgia Tech winning the first 83-65 at home and the Tigers taking the second 74-72.

The Florida State Seminoles typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday Clemson proved too difficult a challenge. Clemson managed a 75-69 win over FSU. Clemson got double-digit scores from four players: forward PJ Hall (15), guard Nick Honor (12), guard Chase Hunter (12), and forward Naz Bohannon (11).

Meanwhile, the Yellow Jackets lost to the Virginia Tech Hokies on the road by a decisive 81-66 margin. Guard Jordan Usher had a rough night: he played for 26 minutes but put up just eight points on 3-for-12 shooting.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Tigers are expected to win a tight contest Saturday. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.

Clemson came out on top in a nail-biter against Georgia Tech when the two teams previously met in February of last year, sneaking past 74-72. The rematch might be a little tougher for Clemson since the team won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
