SERIES HISTORY
Georgia Tech and Boston College first met in 1991 and have met 16 times since then.

The Jackets have taken the last five straight meetings between the conference foes and eight of the past nine. BC last defeated Tech on March 3, 2013 and has only been victorious over Tech in Atlanta once, on Jan. 8, 2009 by one point in overtime, 65-64.

Led by three Jackets in double-figures, Tech topped BC 71-67 to advance to the second round.
