Georgia Tech looks to snap a three-game skid on Saturday night when it hosts Monmouth. The Yellow Jackets are coming off the third annual ACC/SEC Challenge when they hosted Mississippi State for a midweek tilt. Four different Jackets finished in double-figure scoring numbers for the sixth time this season, paced by a career-high 23 points from Kowacie Reeves Jr. Reeves reached the 23 points hitting a career-best seven three-pointers. But it wasn’t enough to lift Georgia Tech to a win, dropping an 85-73 decision.

Monmouth comes into the Saturday matinee winners of the last two games, most recently defeating Princeton on Wednesday, 63-58. Three Hawks are averaging double-digits on the young season, led by 15.0 points per game from Jason Rivera-Torres. Rivera-Torres also leads Monmouth on the glass, securing a team-high 8.1 rebounds per game. As a team, the Hawks lead the CAA in blocks per game, and rank 23rd in the country, averaging 5.6 per game. Monmouth also leads the CAA in free throw percentage, converting 74.3 percent.

Saturday’s game will be broadcast live on ACC Network Extra and radio coverage will be available on the Georgia Tech Sports Network by Legends Sports and Tech’s flagship station, 680 the Fan (680AM/93.7 FM). Tech’s radio broadcast will also be available on the SiriusXM app and Channel 386.
