The Louisville basketball program came into Saturday’s matchup with the 10-7 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets riding some serious momentum after knocking off North Carolina on the road and defeating Boston College in arguably one of their best individual performances in recent memory in Jordan Nwora’s 32 points.
Georgia Tech, a team known for their defensive prowess, presented a challenge for Louisville but with three of their top players out, including leading scorer Jose Alvarado, the odds were stacked against the Yellow Jackets.
Both teams got off to a slow start offensively, combining to go 7-25 through the first 9 minutes of the game.
