What to Know

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets won both of their matches against the Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes last season (87-60 and 70-66) and are aiming for the same result Saturday. The Yellow Jackets will play host again and welcome Miami (Fla.) to McCamish Pavilion, where tip-off is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

While not quite a landslide, the matchup between Georgia Tech and the Florida State Seminoles on Wednesday was still a pretty decisive one as Georgia Tech wrapped it up with a 75-61 win at home. Georgia Tech can attribute much of their success to guard Jordan Usher, who had 19 points and five assists in addition to eight rebounds and five steals.

Meanwhile, Miami (Fla.) skirted by the Virginia Tech Hokies 78-75 on Wednesday thanks to a clutch half-court bomb from guard Charlie Moore as the clock expired. The Hurricanes' guard Jordan Miller looked sharp as he had 18 points along with seven boards.

The Yellow Jackets are expected to lose this next one by 3. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Wednesday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

Georgia Tech is now 9-10 while Miami (Fla.) sits at 15-5. Georgia Tech is 5-3 after wins this season, Miami (Fla.) 9-5.
