Georgia Tech @ Louisville

Regular Season Records: Georgia Tech 12-19; Louisville 12-18

What to Know

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are 1-8 against the Louisville Cardinals since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Tuesday. Georgia Tech and U of L are set to clash at 7 p.m. ET March 8 at Barclays Center in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tourney. The Yellow Jackets should still be riding high after a victory, while U of L will be looking to get back in the win column.

Things were close when Georgia Tech and the Boston College Eagles clashed this past Saturday, but Georgia Tech ultimately edged out the opposition 82-78. Kudos to the oddsmakers for accurately forecasting both the winner and the close margin. Guard Jordan Usher (30 points) was the top scorer for Georgia Tech. Jordan Usher's performance made up for a slower game against the Clemson Tigers last week.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals came up short against the Virginia Cavaliers this past Saturday, falling 71-61. A silver lining for U of L was the play of forward Sydney Curry, who dropped a double-double on 24 points and 14 rebounds.

Louisville's loss took them down to 12-18 while Georgia Tech's win pulled them up to 12-19. This past Saturday Georgia Tech relied heavily on Usher, who had 30 points and five assists along with eight boards. It will be up to Louisville's defense to limit his damage.
