Georgia Tech Tops Miami 89-74, Clinches ACC Tournament Bye

Georgia Tech secured a convincing 89-74 victory over Miami, with Lance Terry leading the way by scoring a career-high 31 points. This win marked Georgia Tech's sixth consecutive home victory and clinched them at least an No. 8 seed in the upcoming ACC tournament, a significant turnaround from their earlier struggles this season. Under head coach Damon Stoudamire, the Yellow Jackets have demonstrated resilience, winning seven of their last nine games despite injuries. Meanwhile, Miami's season continues to deteriorate as they have now lost six straight games, remaining winless on the road. The game highlighted the contrasting trajectories of the two teams, with Georgia Tech aiming for its first ten-win ACC season since 2019-20 and Miami facing the possibility of one of their worst seasons in history. The performance of players like Baye Ndongo, who contributed significantly alongside Terry, has been pivotal in Georgia Tech's recent success.
