Live Updates: Georgia Tech Basketball Takes On Wake Forest in Atlanta

Can Georgia Tech get another home win in ACC play?

It's gameday at Georgia Tech!

The Yellow Jackets are back at home today to face Wake Forest and the Yellow Jackets hope to defend homecourt as they did last week against North Carolina. Wake Forest is coming to Atlanta and the Demon Deacons are in need of a win, as most experts have them squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble heading into this game. 

Wake Forest also comes into this game with one of the ACC's best offenses and Georgia Tech is going to have to be ready to win a high-scoring game with the Demon Deacons tonight. 

Wake Forest is vulnerable on the defensive end of the floor. The Demon Deacons are 8th in the ACC in PPG allowed, 9th in field goal percentage allowed, 1st in three-point field goal attempts allowed, and 7th in three-point percentage allowed.

Wake Forest (14-7, 6-4 ACC) has averaged more than 80 points per game in conference play and come to Atlanta following a 99-70 win Saturday over Syracuse. The Demon Deacons have scored 80 or more in five of their six ACC wins, and 90 or more in their last two.
