The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets meet in college hoops action from the McCamish Pavilion on Saturday.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will look to build on a four-game win streak after a 78-73 win over North Carolina last time out. Dane Goodwin leads the Irish in scoring with 15.1 PPG along with 5.5 RPG while Blake Wesley has 13.7 PPG and Paul Atkinson Jr. has 11.4 PPG with 6.5 RPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for Notre Dame so far this season. Nate Laszewski leads the Irish on the glass with 7.2 RPG while Prentiss Hubb has a team-high 3.2 APG as well this season. As a team, Notre Dame is averaging70.7 PPG on 44.5% shooting from the field, 36.1% from three and 77% from the foul line while allowing 66 PPG on 44.3% shooting from the field and 37.2% from three this season.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will look to bounce back from a 69-57 loss to Duke last time out. Michael Devoe leads the Yellow Jackets in scoring and assists with 21.2 PPG and 3.2 APG with 5.1 RPG while Jordan Usher has 14.8 PPG with a team-high 6.8 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Georgia Tech so far this season. Rodney Howard also has 6.2 PPG and 5.5 RPG as well this season. As a team, Georgia Tech is averaging 67.8 PPG on 43.8% shooting from the field, 36.8% from three and 68.7% from the foul line while allowing 67.7 PPG on 42% shooting from the field and 31.4% from three this season.
Notre Dame is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games following a win while the over is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games overall. Georgia Tech is 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win and 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 home games.
I get the case that could be made for Georgia Tech at home, but the Irish have actually been playing well as of late and despite a hangover that could be imminent for Notre Dame, I think the Irish keep the momentum going and pick up a big road win over Georgia Tech here.
