Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Set to Engage in Starkville Showdown with Mississippi State Bulldogs

As the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets prepare for their upcoming encounter at Humphrey Coliseum, fans are eager to see how the team will fare against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The Yellow Jackets have been working hard to refine their game, and this match-up presents an opportunity to gauge their progress.

In the previous season, Georgia Tech's performance was a mixed bag of statistics. With an average of 57 points per game and a free throw percentage of one hundred percent, they showed potential in scoring efficiency. However, other areas such as field goals and three-point shots were less successful, with percentages rounding down to zero. This indicates that while they can get to the line and capitalize on those opportunities, there is room for improvement in shooting from the field.

The team also averaged nearly 29 rebounds per game last season which is a solid foundation for building possessions and creating second-chance points. Their defensive efforts resulted in almost six steals per game but were slightly overshadowed by an average of over 13 turnovers. Minimizing these will be crucial against a competitive Mississippi State squad.

With an average of over 15 personal fouls per game last season, discipline on defense will be key for Georgia Tech if they want to maintain control of the pace without giving away too many free-throw opportunities.

The venue could play a significant role as well; playing away at Humphrey Coliseum might present additional challenges due to unfamiliarity with the court and local fan support for Mississippi State.

Fans can catch all the action from Starkville on March 21st at 1:00 PM Eastern Time (ET). The game promises excitement as both teams strive for victory in what could be a pivotal moment this season for Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets' aspirations moving forward.
