In the midst of the team playing perhaps their best basketball all season, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will travel to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts to take on the Boston College Eagles.
The Eagles currently sit at 11-15 but ended a four-game losing streak in their last outing, defeating the Virginia Tech Hokies 54-36. The Yellow Jackets have won four of their last five games, including a thrilling 90-88 win in overtime against the California Golden Bears.
Coming into the game, the Yellow Jackets will most likely depend on both points guard Naithan George and Baye Ndongo to lead the charge against for the team, as both are having stellar stretches late in the season.
If the Eagles want to stay in the game late, they will need a great performance by sophomore forward Donald Hand Jr, who leads the team in points per game this season with 16.5, and also leads the team in rebounds per game this season, with 6.3.
The matchup to watch will be Ndongo and Hand Jr, who will most likely be going back and forth with each other throughout the contest, as both players have came up big for their teams recently. In the Yellow Jackets win over the Golden Bears, Ndongo got the buzzer-beating tip-in that gave the Yellow Jackets the win.
The Eagles will need a late season stride to make the ACC tournament, and that stride could start with this game.
The contest is set to tip off at 2pm Eastern time today.
