This past week, Georgia Tech collected marquee wins over Rice and No. 23 Nebraska to improve to 13-0 overall. Tech has now defeated three top-25 programs since the beginning of the season (No. 14 North Carolina, No. 21 Oregon and No. 23 Nebraska). To date, Tech has faced five teams with a top 50 NET ranking and defeated all five.

The Jackets opened the week rolling past Rice, 88-57, fueled by a career-high seven three-pointers from Rusne Augustinaite. The sophomore led a quartet of Jackets with 23 points for a season-high in scoring, while Tech finished with 13 three-pointers on the day.
