GT is coming into this game with a 10-12 record overall and they are 2-3 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. This will be their 12th conference matchup of the year and they are currently 3-8 in their conference games this season. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on.

Deivon Smith led the team in points in that game off the bench with 16 while Jordan Usher was next on the team with 14 points. Smith also led the team in assists in that game with 6 and he led the team in rebounds as well with 8. They were 43.9% from the field, 40% from 3-point range, and 69.2% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 69.8 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 69.5 PPG against them. GT has an ATS record of 7-13-1 this season and their O/U record is 10-11.

 

 

Miami is coming into this game with a 16-7 record overall and they are 9-3 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 13th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 8-4 in their conference games this season. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak after another loss in their last game. Their last win was against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets while their 2 losses since then came against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Virginia Cavaliers in their last game. Kameron McGusty led the team in points in that game with 21 while Charlie Moore was next on the team with 17 points. Jordan Miller and Anthony Walker off the bench both led the team in assists in that game with 4 each while Sam Waardenburg and Isaiah Wong both led the team in rebounds with 5 each. They were 54% from the field, 23.5% from 3-point range, and 0% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 74.6 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 71.3 PPG against them. Miami has an ATS record of 11-12 this season and their O/U record is 13-10.

 

Miami is coming into this game off of 2 straight losses and they will be looking to bounce back in this game at home. They are getting a bit of a break here as they are facing a GT team that is not as good as the two teams they just saw in their last 2 games. Miami has been a good team this season with a 16-7 record overall but they have also been good at home and against conference opponents. They are going up against a GT team that has lost 2 of their last 3 games, including a loss to Miami at home by double digits. Now they have to go into Miami and play them on the road and they have not been a good team on the road this season. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games on the road and all of those losses were by double digits. Miami should be able to use this game as a good bounce back and repeat their result against GT from a few weeks ago.

“People want to talk about the ACC being down. I think that’s crazy. The ACC is really good. There are so many great teams top to bottom. The amount of great coaches in this league and great players ... the league for some reason, people are attacking it this year. It’s ridiculous. Duke and North Carolina can win the national championship. They’re good enough to win the whole entire thing. They both might be in the Final Four.” - Josh Pastner on people saying the ACC is having a very bad season this year.

 

 

“We went zero for zero from the foul line. That kind of is a tell-tale story of we’re not attacking the basket and getting to the foul line like we did earlier in league play.” - Jim Larranaga on his team’s loss against UVA.
