GA Tech has a better record than Florida State as they are 14-17 overall while Florida State is only 9-22 overall. Florida State also finished the regular season with 2 losses in a row and no momentum coming into this tournament while Georgia Tech has a lot of momentum on their side with 3 wins in a row now and have even won 4 of their last 5 games.

“We played almost as near perfect as you could offensively.” - Josh Pastner after his team’s win against Syracuse as they finished the season on a win streak.

"There's no question that we'll be giving a lot more attention to the transfer portal. I'm sure that we'll have an opportunity to know a little bit more about the people who are available. I think we have a core of pretty good pieces coming back and I think if we just make the right decisions and bring some players in that will supplement, you know, we can probably hopefully will be just as effective as some of the other teams in our league have been." - Leonard Hamilton on how he is going to use the transfer portal to improve his team for next year.
