Notre Dame 9-10 We've got another exciting ACC matchup on schedule as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are set to tip at 9:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center.
Georgia Tech has not beaten Notre Dame in South Bend since 1990 and have yet to conquer the Irish on the road since they have entered the ACC. That streak is still alive after the Irish's sloppy home court victory tonight over the Yellow Jackets.
Against the Irish, Georgia Tech had five scorers eclipse the double digit mark including two 21 point performances from Duncan Powell and Javian McCollum off the bench. When your bench outscores your opponent 44 to 15 and you have three starters go for 10 points or more, you're in a pretty good spot.
Georgia Tech only had one game last week, but they got an important win against Virginia Tech. Yes, the Hokies are not a very good team, but the Yellow Jackets
Markus Burton had a huge night for the Irish, putting up 26 points — including a go-ahead 3-pointer with less than two minutes to go that gave Notre Dame its first lead of the game.
Markus Burton scored 26 points and Notre Dame took the lead for good late and held off Georgia Tech for a 71-68 win
Notre Dame hosts the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets after Markus Burton scored 21 points in Notre Dame's 74-59 victory against the Virginia Cavaliers.
