The Atlantic Coast Conference put together a highlight tape of the matchup, which you can see here:

Team Notes:

KEY FIRST HALF RUN: Georgia Tech led by as much as four, with a 7-0 run between 14:00 and 11:14. Louisville responded with a 10-0 run over three minutes, taking a lead as high as six points. The Yellow Jackets’ Miles Kelly hit three 3-pointers to regain the Georgia Tech, that continued into halftime 32-30.
KEY SECOND HALF RUN: After Georgia Tech used a 18-11 run to take a 60-51 lead with 8:15 on the clock, the Cardinals responded with a 18-2 run that elapsed 5:52, giving the momentum back to Louisville at 69-62 with 2:23 to go. The Yellow Jackets followed with a jumper to bring the game within five but wouldn’t rally as the Cards would make six free-throws to close the game.
UofL shot 22 of 57 (38.6%) from the field, 4 of 18 (22.2%) from 3-point range and 31 of 34 (91.2%) from the free-throw line.
Louisville had six players in double-figures including Kaleb Glenn (15), Tre White (14), Ty-Laur Johnson (12), Brandon Huntley-Hatfield (12), Mike James (11), and Skyy Clark (11). It was the first time UofL has had six players in double-figure scoring since Feb. 5, 2020 against Wake Forest.

Player Notes:

Kaleb Glenn led Louisville in scoring and tallied a career-high 15 points and 13 rebounds to earn the first double-double of his career. o Glenn becomes the first Louisville player with nine or more offensive rebounds in a game since Gorgui Dieng (10) and Chane Behanan (9) accomplished it in an 80-54 win vs. Samford on Nov. 15, 2012. He's the first UofL freshman to do it in at least 40 years.
Ty-Laur Johnson recorded 12 points and two steals in 31 minutes of action, while going a perfect 8-for-8 at the free-throw line. He also dished out five assists.
Brandon Huntley-Hatfield had his 13th double-digit scoring game of the year with 12 points. He added nine rebounds in his 28 minutes.
