Credit Georgia Tech with winning the first move of Saturday’s matchup with No. 19 Notre Dame at McCamish Pavilion.
On Friday, forward Nick Jacobs assured that the Yellow Jackets have a different plan for covering ball screens than the last time they faced the Fighting Irish, a 72-64 defeat Jan. 13 in South Bend, Ind. It would behoove the Jackets, as Notre Dame forward Zach Auguste ransacked Tech with 24 points on 10-for-13 shooting, many of the shots uncontested attempts at the rim after he set screens and then slipped to the basket with no one guarding him.
