Georgia Tech looks to get back to winning ways on Thursday in the first meeting of the season against Miami.

Blackshear leads Tech on the glass, averaging 6.4 rebounds per game this season.
Miami comes into Thursday’s tilt on a three-game win streak after defeating ranked opponents North Carolina and Virginia Tech at home, most recently. The Hurricanes opened conference play falling to Florida State and Notre Dame before collecting three-straight wins. Haley Cavinder and Destiny Harden lead Miami offensively, averaging 13.2 and 11.9 points per game, respectively. Harden also leads on the glass, averaging 5.4 rebounds per game.
Miami took both meetings against Georgia Tech last season to grab the lead in the all-time series, 19-17. The Hurricanes escaped with a one-point win in Coral Gables before collecting the series in McCamish Pavilion later in the year. Georgia Tech swept Miami in 2021.
