After a road loss earlier in the week against Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech returns home today to face a ranked North Carolina team. The Tar Heels have been playing well lately, coming back from a big deficit to beat Virginia on the road. The Tar Heels have been playing like one of the best teams in the ACC and have one of the most talented players in the country, forward Caleb Wilson.

The Yellow Jackets climbed back from a 15-point deficit at Virginia Tech to cut the score to one possession down the stretch, but could not pull out the victory. Jaeden Mustaf recorded his second double-double in three games and was one of four Jackets in double-figures.

North Carolina comes into the contest winners of the last two games after dropping both contests in California. The Tar Heels are led in conference play by freshman Caleb Wilson who is averaging 20.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. UNC owns a 2-3 record when competing on the road, picking up its second victory most recently at Virginia by a narrow 85-80 margin.

Jarin Stevenson's three-point play gave UNC the lead for good with 2:51 remaining, and he hit a three-pointer a minute later to increase Carolina's advantage to seven. Caleb Wilson's basket with 31 seconds to play sealed the win, the Tar Heels' second in a row in Charlottesville.

Carolina is 2-3 on the road this season and 4-4 in games away from Chapel Hill. That includes a 1-3 mark in ACC play and 1-0 in Atlanta. The Tar Heels defeated Ohio State, 71-70, in State Farm Arena on December 20 in the CBS Sports Classic.
