The Boston College Eagles (7-6) men’s basketball team starts its ACC slate on the road against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (9-5, 0-1 ACC) on Saturday afternoon. 

The Eagles are riding a two-game winning streak into the matchup with wins over the FDU Knights 72-61 on Dec. 22 and the Le Moyne Dolphins 72-64 on Sunday afternoon. 

On the other hand, the Yellow Jackets will be looking to bounce back after suffering a road loss to the No. 6 Duke Blue Devils 85-79 in their ACC opener on New Year’s Eve. 

During the 2024-25 campaign, the two teams met twice and split the series. Georgia Tech won the first game in Atlanta 85-64 on Jan. 4, 2025, and Boston College won the second game in Chestnut Hill 69-54 on Feb. 22. 

Boston College will square off against a familiar face in the contest in former Eagles guard Chas Kelley III. Kelley III played three seasons on the Heights before transferring to Georgia Tech this past offseason. Currently, he is averaging 4.1 points in 12 games and has made one start.
