Another road game, another nail-biter for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team.
The #14 Irish dropped their second game in a row and their second road game of the season, losing on a buzzer-beating layup to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, who improve to 13-8 and 5-4 in ACC play. ND moves to 17-5 and 6-3 in ACC play.
Early on, it looked like Notre Dame was the far superior team and would control the game, as the Irish zoomed out to a 19-9 lead in the first ten minutes. However, Georgia Tech turned it on defensively and began to burn the undersized Irish on the glass (the Yellow Jackets out-rebounded ND 21-10 in the first half), going on a 13-4 run to make it 23-22 before a VJ Beachem layup got the Irish back up by 3.
