WBB at Ga Tech Feb 25 at 4PM

The #9 Ladies (23-4, 13-4) travel to Atlanta to play GA Tech (13-15, 4-13) today at 4PM. The game is on the ACC Network. Hokies are favored by 10.5; over/under of 125. Ga Tech is not good and we are in a game that does not matter to us, I think. Win or lose, I think we are the 3 seed. Notre Dame beat Louisville to clinch the #1 seed. Duke lost to UNC; If we win, we tie Duke for the #2 seed. We split the two games this season; we lost to ND and Duke beat ND, we lose the tie breaker. If we lose and FSU wins, we tie FSU for the #3 seed. I think we hold the tie breaker in head to head against FSU.

GA Tech does have a 6'5" player in Nerea Hermosa. She has played in all 28 games, starting 7 times. She averages about 20 minutes per game; so she will be on the floor about half the time. She averages 1.9 fouls per game and has fouled out once.

Only Cameron Swartz scores in double digits at 12.7 ppg. But Morgan and Jackson average 9.6 and 9.2.

GA Tech is 4-13 in ACC play. Their four wins are against NC State, Syracuse, Wake Forest and Clemson. We also lost to Clemson in our only bad loss and the reason we are not playing for the second seed.

GA Tech only has one player, Jackson(35.6%), who shoots better than 30% from three and plays significant minutes. They average a little over 4 threes per game. Their assist to turnover ration is pretty bad at 0.80.

There is no reason this game should be close unless the Hokies get caught looking past the Yellow Jackets.

GO HOKIES!
