As the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets prepare to host the Virginia Cavaliers at Hank McCamish Pavilion, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent performance trends. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 20th, promises to be an exciting matchup in Atlanta.
Looking back at the Yellow Jackets' past games reveals a team that is finding ways to win. In their most recent game against the Rainbow Warriors, they secured a victory with a score of 73-68. Their offense was efficient from inside the arc, shooting 52 percent on two-point attempts and dominating points in the paint with 46. They also showed strength on defense and on the boards with 46 total rebounds.
The previous game saw another win for Georgia Tech against UMass Minutemen with an identical score of 73-70. Despite turning over the ball 21 times, they managed to shoot an impressive 49 percent from the field and an excellent free throw percentage of nearly 86 percent.
In their matchup before that against Penn State Nittany Lions, which went into overtime, Georgia Tech emerged victorious with a score of 82-81. Their resilience was evident as they outrebounded their opponents by a significant margin (54 total rebounds) and capitalized on second-chance points (24). The assists-to-turnover ratio stood at about one-and-a-half indicating good ball movement when it counted.
While these statistics show positive signs for Georgia Tech's offensive capabilities and rebounding strength, turnovers have been a concern in tight games.
