Last season, Georgia Tech displayed a solid performance with an average of nearly 70 points per game across 33 games played. Their offensive efforts were bolstered by making an average of almost 26 field goals per game and maintaining a strong presence beyond the arc with nearly eight three-pointers made each match. The team also demonstrated proficiency in free throws and true shooting, both critical factors in close games.


Defensively, Georgia Tech was consistent as well. They averaged over 32 rebounds and contributed significantly on defense with over four blocks and nearly six steals per game. However, they'll need to maintain discipline as they averaged just under 16 personal fouls per match last season.

The venue could play a significant role in this encounter. Playing away at the Capital One Arena may present challenges for Georgia Tech; however, it also offers an opportunity to prove their resilience under pressure against Notre Dame.


Fans can expect Georgia Tech to leverage their strengths from last season while addressing areas that need improvement such as reducing turnovers which stood at just under ten per game previously.
