Live Updates: Georgia Tech Takes on Syracuse In ACC Road Clash

Can Georgia Tech upset Syracuse on the road tonight?

Only two games left for Georgia Tech basketball before they go to Greensboro to play in the ACC Tournament. Both games are on the road and the first up is a trip to Syracuse. Syracuse won the first game between the two teams back in January 80-63.

Syracuse (16-13, 9-9 ACC) begins the week in ninth place in the conference standings and finishes out the regular season at home against Tech and Wake Forest. The Orange are 3-6 since beating the Yellow Jackets in Atlanta on Jan. 21, dropping their next three games, winning three in a row, then losing their last three against Duke, Clemson, and Pitt. Syracuse is 4-4 in conference play at home (per Georgia Tech PR).

Georgia Tech hopes to upset Syracuse tonight / Georgia Tech Athletics

Syracuse has the eighth-ranked offense and the ninth-ranked defense in the ACC, with the offense shooting the fourth-best percentage from three-point range. The Orange are led by Joseph Girard, who is the fifth-leading scorer in the ACC at 16.9 PPG, and Girard had 28 points in the win over Georgia Tech last time. Limiting him is going to be a priority for Georgia Tech in the game tonight.
