Georgia Tech's most notable performance came in an overtime thriller against the Nittany Lions where they emerged victorious with a scoreline of 82-81. The team's endurance was tested but their commitment shone through as they dished out an impressive 25 assists and grabbed a total of 54 rebounds – signs of excellent teamwork and effort on both ends of the court.

Turnovers have been a recurring issue; however, if they can manage ball control while maintaining their aggressive rebounding and inside scoring presence, fans can anticipate another competitive showing from the Yellow Jackets.
