The Yellow Jackets have three games remaining this season, and tomorrow's contest against the Seminoles is one of them. Despite a rough start to the season, Florida State has played well over the past few weeks and is going to be a tough out in the upcoming ACC Tournament.

Georgia Tech has won the rebounding battle 13 times this season, and five times in ACC play . Tech has had seven different Yellow Jackets lead the team on the glass in a game this year .

Georgia Tech did not quit in their loss to Louisville last Saturday, but Florida State is playing really aside from their loss to Miami and I don't think the Yellow Jackets can hang around for long with the Seminoles.
