Live Updates: Georgia Tech Takes On Boston College In Regular Season Finale
It might be too little too late for Georgia Tech basketball, but they are showing signs of life and playing pretty well down the stretch. They head into today's regular-season finale against Boston College as winners of five of their last seven and it could just as easily be a seven-game winning streak if they found a way to close out close games against Wake Forest and Pitt.
While the Yellow Jackets have a nice win over Miami, I would argue the win against Syracuse is actually their best performance of the season, especially on the offensive end. Tech hit 18 threes and Ja'von Franklin had the first triple-double for a Georgia Tech player since 2011. The starting unit for this team (Lance Terry, Miles Kelly, Kyle Sturdivant, Deebo Coleman, and Franklin) is playing big minutes, but it is playing well, especially on offense. This team has found something with this unit and they are looking to carry that into Sunday.
Boston College (15-15, 9-10 ACC), one of the surprise teams in the ACC this season after being picked to finish 13th. enters Saturday’s game playing for the ninth seed in the ACC Tournament and a bye out of the Tuesday opening round. The Eagles, currently tied with Syracuse at 9-10, are 9-6 at home this season and are riding a three-game winning streak (Per Georgia Tech PR).
