Predictions
This is going to be a tough game for Georgia Tech. NC State was a tough matchup late in the game for them in Atlanta a few weeks ago and until yesterday, the Yellow Jackets were not playing well going into the game. The fourth quarter was the best quarter they have played in nearly a month and I do think they can keep it close. It was a close game through three quarters when they last played and I could see something similar playing out today. NC State is just on another level and a serious contender for the national championship and I think they will win.
Final Score: NC State 73, Georgia Tech 67
