Georgia Tech returns to action with a top-25 matchup on Thursday against NC State. The Yellow Jackets are coming off a 73-62 victory over Wake Forest for their 21st win of the season. Kara Dunn led the offensive front once again, chipping in 22 points for her eighth game this season with 20 or more points. Tech recorded 15 steals in the win, matching its season-high, while setting a season-best in ACC play. Dunn tallied five steals, while Inés Noguero added four.
Currently sitting at No. 2 in the ACC standings, NC State comes into the midweek tilt off only its second conference loss of the season, falling by one, 66-65 at rival North Carolina. Aziaha James paces the Wolfpack, dropping in 17.8 points per game on average, while Saniya Rivers contributes 12.0 points and a team-high 6.0 rebounds per game.
Georgia Tech and NC State are meeting on the hardwood for the 78th time in program history with the Wolfpack leading the series, 52-25. However, the opponents have split the last two meetings. NC State squeaked out an 86-85 win in overtime last season in Reynolds Coliseum and the Jackets took the last meeting in McCamish in 2023.

GEORGIA TECH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL CELEBRATES 50 YEARS
Georgia Tech is celebrating the 50th anniversary of women’s basketball on The Flats this season. Under the direction of coach Jim Culpepper, Georgia Tech competed its first year in the Georgia Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (GAIAW) in 1974-75 before joining the ACC in 1979-80. Tech has seen many highlights over 50 years, including playing in the NCAA Tournament 11 times, with two Sweet 16 appearances (2012, 2021), and producing nine WNBA draft picks, featuring first round draft picks Alex Montgomery and Sasha Goodlett. In its first postseason berth in school history, Georgia Tech captured the 1992 National Women’s Invitational Tournament. Currently in its sixth season under head coach Nell Fortner, the Yellow Jackets have reach postseason play three times in the last five years.
