Georgia Tech Basketball vs Notre Dame: Live Blog and Updates

Georgia Tech is looking for its second ACC win of the season tonight

The Yellow Jackets are on the road again tonight and will be hoping to bounce back from a tough loss to Florida State and find a way to beat Notre Dame. 

Notre Dame started the season off 5-0 but has really struggled to be consistent since starting off so well. The Fighting Irish has lost six of its last seven games, including consecutive ACC losses to Miami, Boston College, and North Carolina by an average of 11.7 points. Looking for their first ACC victory of the season, the Fighting Irish suffered a pair of one-point losses to Syracuse (62-61) and Florida State (73-72) in their first two conference games.

If Georgia Tech were to pull off this win on the road, it would be the first time they have ever won at Purcell Pavillion since Notre Dame joined the ACC. Georgia Tech is currently 0-8 against Notre Dame on the road since joining. Tech won the first meeting with Notre Dame under Josh Pastner but has lost eight of 11 since.
