Georgia Tech Basketball vs North Carolina: Live Updates

Stay tuned here for live updates from Georgia Tech's matchup with UNC

Georgia Tech opens conference play on the road today against the preseason No. 1 team in the country today. The Yellow Jackets come into the game today winners of two straight while the Tar Heels have been unable to live up to their lofty preseason ranking and have lost four straight. You can bet that North Carolina and head coach Hubert Davis are going to be anxious to end this losing streak and get their season back on track against Georgia Tech. 

Georgia Tech is going to be going with the same starting lineup for today's matchup in Chapel Hill. Deebo Coleman, Miles Kelly, Ja'von Franklin, Jalon Moore, and Deivon Smith will be starters for the Yellow Jackets.
