Georgia Tech vs Miami Prediction 3/4/25 College Basketball Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a Georgia Tech vs Miami Prediction for this college basketball game on Tuesday, March 4th, at the McCamish Pavilion. Let’s take a look at a Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs Miami Hurricanes pick. 

This is the first meeting between the two teams this season. When they faced off in February of last year, it was Georgia Tech that secured the 80-74 victory. 

Only a Few More Games for Miami

Barring some crazy runs, Miami is only a few games away from their season being over, and that’s a good thing because they have been awful all season. The last win for Miami came back almost a month ago against the Syracuse Orange. Since that point, they have lost five games in a row, including the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels in the last two games. Against North Carolina, they gave up 92 points, and they ended up losing by 19 points. Matthew Cleveland did have a strong game against North Carolina, putting up 25 points, five rebounds, and five assists. 

The Hurricanes sit with a 6-23 record overall and have gone 10-19 against the spread. The offense has been fine, but the lack of wanting to play any sort of defense has really let them down. Miami is giving up 80.7 points per game, which is 353rd in the league. One issue is that Nijel Pack is dealing with a foot injury, and he’s still out. Not having the heart and soul of their team is an issue. Matthew Cleveland is averaging 16.7 points while shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from behind the three-point line. 

Georgia Tech Looks for Third Straight Win

It has been all about the inconsistency for Georgia Tech this season, but they are coming off two straight key wins. Two games ago against Pittsburgh, they secured the 73-67 victory, and in the last game against NC State, they picked up the 87-62 win. They were up 41-30 at halftime, and in the second half, they put up another 46 points on the way to the win. The Yellow Jackets shot 47.1 percent from the field and 40 percent from deep. Baye Ndongo put up 29 points, 17 rebounds, and one assist. 

Georgia Tech has a 15-14 overall record and has gone 13-16 against the spread. At home this season, they have gone 13-5 straight up. Georgia Tech is averaging 74.2 points per game, but the defense will be most important. Lance Terry is averaging 14.8 points while shooting 43.1 percent from the field. Javian McCollum is dealing with a concussion and is questionable for this game. 

Why Georgia Tech Will Beat Miami

• Miami (FL) has lost 26 of its last 28 games against the Atlantic Coast Conference.
• Georgia Tech has won 10 of its last 11 home games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Georgia Tech has won the first half in 10 of its last 11 home games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Georgia Tech vs Miami Prediction

Miami might be the better offensive team on paper, but they still can’t be trusted here. Georgia Tech is averaging 74.2 points and will go well over their season average against a terrible defense. Miami is giving up 80.7 points per game, and they are going to give up at least their season average here. Miami still hasn’t had a win on the road during the season. Georgia Tech has gone 4-1 against the spread in their last five games played at home. Back Georgia Tech against the spread.
