BIMINI, BAHAMAS – Georgia Tech women’s basketball is set to make its third appearance in the Junkanoo Jam this week. The Yellow Jackets open the Thanksgiving tournament on Thursday, facing Seton Hall at 5:15 p.m. Tech will play game two on either Friday or Saturday.
Georgia Tech carries a 4-0 record into the tournament, having picked up its fourth win of the season last week over cross-town rival, Georgia State. Sophomore Jasmine Carson paced the Yellow Jackets offense in the win, pouring in a career-high 21 points on a personal-best eight made field goals. Lorela Cubaj also recorded a solid stat line, picking up her first double-double of the season with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
The winner on Thursday will play in the Junkanoo Division championship game on Saturday, Nov. 30, at 2 p.m. versus the winner of the Rutgers – Vanderbilt game (Thursday at 3 p.m.). The third-place game will take place on Friday at 7:45 p.m.
Tech is 3-1 in the Junkanoo Jam over two tournaments. The Jackets captured the Freeport Division title in 2016 and advanced to the championship game in 2017, falling to Baylor.
Seton Hall stands at 4-2 on the season, having most recently fallen at Lehigh on Friday. The Pirates are paced by Desiree Elmore (17.0 points, 9.7 rebounds per game) and Alexis Lewis (14.8 ppg).
