Can Georgia Tech Continue Their Winning Streak at Hank McCamish Pavilion?

In their latest outing against the Rainbow Warriors, Georgia Tech managed to secure a win with 73 points, demonstrating an impressive 52 percent success rate from two-point range and grabbing an astounding total of 46 rebounds. Their ability to control the paint was evident with 46 points scored in that area. However, turnovers were a concern as they gave up possession nine times.


The previous game saw them also scoring 73 points against the Minutemen but this time with an even higher field goal percentage of 49 percent and an exceptional free throw percentage of 86 percent. Despite this efficiency, ball handling was again problematic as they turned over the ball twenty-one times which is something they will need to tighten up moving forward.

Their victory over the Nittany Lions was hard-fought in overtime with a final score of 82-81. The team's resilience shone through as they dished out twenty-five assists and dominated second-chance points with twenty-four thanks to seventeen offensive rebounds. Yet again turnovers were high at seventeen for that game.


The venue could play into Georgia Tech's hands; playing at home has its advantages such as familiar surroundings and crowd support which can be pivotal in close encounters.
