THE FLATS – Georgia Tech women’s basketball wraps up the 2025-26 regular season Sunday inside the friendly confines of McCamish Pavilion against the Miami Hurricanes on Senior Day.

The Yellow Jackets look to close out the slate with a 10th win on home court, where the team averages the best home three-point defense in the ACC (25.1%) and second-best field goal defense (34.9%). Tech is coming off a tough loss to No. 10/11 Louisville Thursday night where Talayah Walker tallied her 10th-straight game scoring in double figures (20) while Brianna Turnage posted her 10th-straight game of 10+ rebounds (10).

Walker leads the team in points per game (16.5) while Turnage has a team-best 10.9 rebounds per game that is 11th in the country. The Jackets are looking to avoid their first home-court losing streak of the season.

Tech will honor the 2026 Senior Class pregame including Catherine Alben, Inés Noguero, Savannah Samuel, Turnage and graduating student managers.

Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. on the ACC Network Extra.
