The Yellow Jackets started off with 20 points in the first half and added another 42 in the second, but it wasn't enough to secure a win. Despite their efforts, they struggled with shooting accuracy throughout the game. The team managed to convert only 32 percent of their field goal attempts and were less successful from beyond the arc, hitting just under 30 percent of their three-point shots. From the free-throw line, they scored six out of 13 attempts.


On defense, Georgia Tech showed resilience by gathering a total of 43 rebounds—25 defensive and an impressive count of offensive rebounds at 15. They also demonstrated solid defensive skills by blocking five shots and stealing seven times from their opponents. However, personal fouls were an issue for them as they accumulated 18 over the course of play.


Offensively, points in paint were a strong suit for Georgia Tech as they scored 32 there but still fell short compared to other scoring opportunities like second-chance points where they excelled with an impressive tally of 23. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at about two assists for every turnover which reflects decent ball handling amidst pressure.


The Bulldogs had a more effective night shooting-wise; achieving a field goal percentage of forty and fifty percent on two-point attempts specifically. They also outperformed from the charity stripe making fourteen out of twenty-one free throws attempted which contributed significantly to their final score advantage.


Georgia's rebounding was superior too; securing fifty rebounds overall including thirty-six defensively which helped limit second-chance opportunities for Georgia Tech despite both teams having no ejections or foulouts during gameplay.


Looking ahead after this tough encounter on enemy territory, fans can anticipate seeing Georgia Tech back in action against Alabama A&M Bulldogs at Hank McCamish Pavilion located in Atlanta on December nine at nine PM Eastern Time. This upcoming game will be broadcasted nationally on ACC Network channel six hundred twelve where supporters can tune in to follow live updates as events unfold on court.
