Yellow Jackets and Wolfpack tip at 12 p.m. on The CW
GEORGIA TECH (10-8, 1-4 ACC) at NC STATE (12-5, 3-1 ACC)
Georgia Tech men’s basketball heads back on the road for its second-straight Saturday matinee, this time visiting NC State. The Yellow Jackets look to snap a three-game skid and return to winning ways after a loss to Pittsburgh this week. Kam Craft led Georgia Tech off the bench on Wednesday, chipping in 14 points against Pittsburgh, and was one of four Jackets in double-figures.
NC State comes into the contest having won two straight and five of the last six. The Wolfpack is one of seven teams in the ACC to own at least three league wins early in the conference season. Darrion Williams is leading NC State, averaging 14.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game against league opponents. He is one of five players averaging double-figure scoring numbers in ACC play for the Wolfpack.
Saturday’s game will be broadcast live on The CW 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.
