The Yellow Jackets have shown a commendable performance in recent games, despite some setbacks. On January 13, they faced a formidable opponent in Duke's Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor Stadium. GT put up an impressive fight scoring 79 points but ultimately fell short by five points in a high-scoring affair that ended 84-79 in favor of Duke. Their shooting was on point with field goals and three-pointers both hitting at a solid 54 percent accuracy.


Earlier, on January 10 against Notre Dame's Fighting Irish, GT showcased their defensive prowess with ten steals and an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.5 but struggled from the free-throw line making only three out of seven attempts which contributed to their overtime loss by seven points.


However, it was during their home game against Boston College Eagles where GT truly shined. They scored an impressive 87 points while maintaining excellent field goal and two-point percentages of 54 percent and an even more remarkable three-point percentage of 44 percent respectively. This offensive explosion coupled with their fast break points showed what this team is capable when they hit their stride.


The upcoming game against Clemson poses another opportunity for Georgia Tech to capitalize on its strengths while addressing areas that need improvement such as turnovers and free throw accuracy which stood at only 68 percent during the Boston College match-up.


Clemson Tigers will not make it easy for them though; they are known for being tough competitors especially when playing under the roar of their home crowd at Littlejohn Coliseum. It will be crucial for GT to maintain composure and execute their plays efficiently if they wish to come out victorious.


Fans can expect GT's players to bring intensity both offensively and defensively as they aim for redemption after recent losses. With strategic playmaking and sharpshooting from beyond the arc being key factors that could tip the scales in favor of Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.


Mark your calendars for January 16th at precisely nine o'clock PM Eastern Time when these two teams collide on ACC Network channel number six hundred twelve or catch them live if you're near Clemson, South Carolina – this is one game you won't want to miss!
