Georgia Tech Faces California in Key ACC Matchup

Georgia Tech is looking to secure their fourth win in five games as they face California, following a recent victory over Stanford. Despite injuries, the team has shown resilience, with key contributions from players like Ibrahim Souare, who effectively limited Stanford's top scorer. Head coach Damon Stoudamire emphasizes the importance of mental and physical preparedness over the number of available players. Meanwhile, Cal, struggling with a poor road record, comes off a significant loss to Duke, and faces challenges including low assist-to-turnover ratios and shooting percentages. Georgia Tech is favored to win, with ESPN’s Basketball Power Index giving them a 69% chance, reflecting their strong recent performances. A win would place them closer to a first-round bye in the ACC Tournament.
