Georgia Tech Dominates Alabama State 96-60

Georgia Tech is heading into ACC play with some momentum

The Yellow Jackets were big favorites coming into the game against a 1-8 Alabama State team and they were able to beat the Hornets handily today in Atlanta 96-60. 

Georgia Tech came into the game with two of its most crucial players having health concerns. Ja'von Franklin was doubtful and did not play and Deivon Smith was questionable, but he wound up suiting up for Tech today and came off the bench. 

Six players for Georgia Tech ended the game in double figures. Kyle Sturdivant had his best game of the season, nearing a triple-double with 13 points eight rebounds, and seven assists. Rodney Howard had another double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds, Tristan Maxwell had a game-high 18 points, and Miles Kelly had 10 points.

For the game, Georgia Tech shot both 54% from the field and from three-point range. The Yellow Jackets held Alabama State to 35% from the field and 20% from three-point range. Georgia Tech won the rebounding battle 45-34. 

Georgia Tech remains unbeaten at home and they are going to need that streak to continue with the opponents that will be coming to Atlanta in the near future. The Yellow Jackets resume ACC play on Wednesday with a game against Clemson before welcoming in No. 2 Virginia (which lost to Houston today) and then playing No. 24 Miami (who is 11-1 this season).
