The Florida State Seminoles and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets meet in college basketball action from the McCamish Pavilion on Wednesday night.

The Florida State Seminoles come into this game on the heels of their 61-60 win over Miami last time out. Caleb Mills leads FSU in scoring with 13.9 PPG with 2.8 APG while Malik Osborne has 10.4 PPG with a team-high 7.2 RPG to lead the Seminoles on the glass and Matthew Cleveland has 10.8 PPG with 4.8 RPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for FSU this year. Anthony Polite has 9.5 PPG with 5.6 RPG and RayQuan Evans has a team-high 2.8 APG to lead the Seminoles in the assists department this season. As a team, Florida State is averaging 73.6 PPG on 45% shooting from the field, 33.9% from three and 70.1% from the foul line while allowing 68.5 PPG on 42.8% shooting from the field and 35.8% from three this season.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will look to build on a 103-53 win over subdivision Clayton State last time out. Michael Devoe leads the Yellow Jackets in scoring and assists with 19.5 PPG and 3.2 APG with 5.1 RPG while Jordan Usher has 15.2 PPG with a team-high 6.9 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Georgia Tech so far this season. As a team, Georgia Tech is averaging 70.2 PPG on 44.4% shooting from the field, 36.7% from three and 69.3% from the foul line while allowing 69.4 PPG on 43.3% shooting from the field and 30.3% from three this season.

Florida State is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games and 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS win while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 road games against a team with a losing home record. Georgia Tech is 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall and 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 home games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall.

I get the case to be made for a home dog in most spots, but Georgia Tech’s been abysmal at home this season and I just don’t think that they’ll be able to take down a Florida State team that just pulled off a pair of wins over a good Miami team to add to their win streak. Give me the Noles in this one.
