This year’s iteration of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate (Hardwood Edition) looks to be a remarkably even contest. Both teams feature feisty defenses and inefficient, perimeter-oriented offenses. In terms of rankings, Georgia Tech enters this matchup at 142nd in NET, 120th in KenPom, and 97th in BartTorvik. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, rank 148th, 82nd, and 107th, respectively. This will be only the second road game for the Yellow Jackets, who lost their first game away from McCamish Pavilion by a whopping 35 points against Cincinnati. On the other hand, Georgia has yet to lose on their home court, boasting a perfect 4-0 record in Athens with a quality win against Wake Forest.
