Georgia Tech comes into tonight's game vs Wake Forest on a five game losing streak, but they have a chance to end that tonight at home. The Demon Deacons are near the bottom of the ACC standings and the loser of this game is going to inch closer to not being able to make the ACC Tournament. While neither team is a threat to make a run in the conference tournament, it is better to make it than be sitting at home and having their season end.

The Yellow Jackets are coming off its west coast swing where they dropped a pair of games at Cal and Stanford. Akai Fleming posted back-to-back 19-points games in both contests to lead the Jackets offensively.

Wake Forest comes into the midweek tilt on a five-game skid, most recently falling to Louisville, 88-80. Juke Harris is leading the Demon Deacons in ACC play, scoring 22.6 points per game on average through 10 outings. He is one of three Deacs contributing double-figures in league play.
