We don't want to be the team that gives GT their first ACC win. GT has been nice enough to give BC and Wake their only ACC wins. They may be the worst team in the ACC

GT is 9-10 (0-7). GT is 0-5 in their last 5, 2-8 in their last 10. They're 1-5 in true road games (not including neutral sites).

Their SOS is #13 (http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi/_/sort/sos)
Their RPI is #89 (http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi/_/page/1/sort/RPI)

Their most impressive win (IMO) is against Dayton (on the road).

Players to Watch:

Marcus Georges-Hunt: 12.9 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 1.5 APG and 1.3 SPG
Charles Mitchell: 9.8 PPG and 7.5 RPG
Demarco Cox: 8.6 PPG, 5.9 RPG and 1.1 BPG

Let's Go Canes!

Outside of a blowout loss to UVa, all of GT's losses have been close games. This is the type of game that really worries me.
 
GA tech beat us at home 2 years ago when we had a chance to wrap up the regular season championship and Coach L was the coach.
 
If we win the games we should we should go about 8-3 in the remaining games. Win a couple in the ACC tourney and 24 wins gets us a solid seed.
 
Must win. This game will decide much for us. Seriously. CANNOT afford a loss. It would be devastating.
 
No such thing as a must win this early. We could lose, and then beat Louisville, which would cancel out the loss. I'd rather not lose, but it's not like this is game #31 and we're on the bubble. I love ya smokey (no homo), but step away from the ledge.

I actually agree with Smoke Dog, for a change! The boys have had 5 days off, we should beat GT comfortably if we're serious about making some Tournament noise. I can excuse losing to them a couple years ago, because we were blowing the doors off everybody else and knew we'd be a high seed, but this year, nothing is known quite yet. Kick their ***.

I love coach L but this game should still worry us. We have had 2 huge let down games against teams worste than Georgia tech and at home. This team needs to give max effort every game and they are not consistent enough yet to where a game like this can be overlooked.
