Georgia Tech vs Georgia: Live Updates

Georgia Tech is hosting its biggest rival tonight in Atlanta

Georgia Tech is going to put its undefeated record at home on the line this tonight when the Georgia Bulldogs pay a visit to Atlanta. Georgia is off to a nice start this season, but their wins have been against a group of teams that are not that impressive.

The same could be said for Georgia Tech, however. Tech's five wins have come against Division Two Clayton State, Northeastern, Georgia State, Northern Illinois, and North Alabama. 

Georgia Tech leads the all-time series against Georgia 106-91 and got a nice victory last season in Athens. Georgia Tech snapped a five-game skid in the series with an 88-78 win last season at Stegeman Coliseum, the Jackets’ first win in Athens since 2013. Last year's win against the Bulldogs was the first time that Georgia Tech had won the rivalry game under head coach Josh Pastner.

The defense for Georgia Tech has been the team's best attribute to start the season. The offense is still coming along and this is likely going to have to be another game in which the Yellow Jackets rely on their defense. Tech has limited its foes to 25.6% from the three-point range this season, which leads the ACC and ranks 12th nationally (KenPom). Only Utah (31.3%), Marquette (39.1%), and Iowa (34.6%) have connected on 30 percent or better.

It is sure to be a highly contested game and despite having a worse record than the Bulldogs, Georgia Tech is a slight home favorite tonight.
