Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Set to Host Syracuse Orange in Pivotal Clash at Hank McCamish Pavilion

As the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets prepare to welcome the Syracuse Orange to the Hank McCamish Pavilion, fans are anticipating a game that could significantly impact both teams' standings. The Yellow Jackets have shown a pattern of robust performances and resilience in their recent outings, which should give them confidence going into this matchup.

Looking at past games, Georgia Tech has displayed a strong offensive game with an impressive 52 percent two-point shooting against Hawai'i's Rainbow Warriors and an even more remarkable 59 percent against UMass Minutemen. Their ability to score in the paint was evident as they racked up 46 points inside against Hawai'i and maintained that pressure with 28 points against UMass. However, turnovers have been a concern; they committed 21 against UMass but managed to keep it under control with just nine in their next outing.

Defensively, Georgia Tech has been solid on the boards, pulling down an impressive total of 54 rebounds during an overtime thriller at Madison Square Garden against Penn State Nittany Lions. Their defensive efforts were further highlighted by five blocks each in two separate games and maintaining a steady number of steals.

The upcoming game promises to be exciting as Georgia Tech aims to capitalize on their home-court advantage where crowd support can often play a pivotal role. The team's ability to minimize turnovers while maximizing scoring opportunities inside will be key factors if they are going to overcome Syracuse's challenge.

Fans can catch all the action from this thrilling encounter on February 17th at 5:30 PM Eastern Time at Hank McCamish Pavilion or tune into The CW for national television coverage. This is one game Yellow Jacket supporters won't want to miss as their team looks to continue its upward trajectory this season.
