After having a first round bye, Georgia Tech begins its ACC Tournament run today vs Virginia. The Yellow Jackets have struggled against the Cavs, including a loss earlier this year, but they will have to beat them today if they want to advance to the quarterfinals and face Duke.

Georgia Tech (16-15, 10-10 ACC) finished the regular season winning five of its last seven games to secure an eighth-place finish, getting decisive home wins over NC State (87-62) and Miami (89-74) following a road win over Pittsburgh (73-67) along the way. The Yellow Jackets have won seven of 10 games since the start of February, including wins over two of the top three teams in the ACC standings, Louisville (77-70) and Clemson (89-86 in 3 overtimes), early in the month.

Virginia (15-16, 8-12 ACC) finished the season in a five-way tie for ninth place in the ACC standings, but earned the No.9 seed based on its record against the other four teams and a key win over Wake Forest, the No. 4 seed. The Cavaliers lost four of their last six games to finish the regular season.
