‘Excited’ Georgia Tech takes on Boston College

Looking to match a season-best three-game winning streak, Georgia Tech will travel to Chestnut Hill, Mass., on Saturday afternoon to tangle with Boston College in Atlantic Coast Conference play.Georgia Tech (13-13, 7-8) has won four of its past five games and is looking to post its eighth conference win for the first time since 2020-21, when the Yellow Jackets won 11 ACC contests.For a team that’s playing its best ball in February, another strong effort Saturday could propel the group into the top half of the congested league standings.”I see more for our team than they can see themselves,” Georgia Tech coach Damon Stoudamire said. “I think we’re playing the right basketball at the right time. I’ve been saying it for a while, but we didn’t have the wins to show for it. We’re excited, but we’ve got to keep our foot on the pedal.”Most recently, the Yellow Jackets earned a 90-88 overtime win last Saturday over Cal in a game in which Baye Ndongo’s buzzer-beating, put-back layup sealed the victory.In Georgia Tech’s highest-scoring output in ACC play this season, Ndongo and Naithan George led the way with 26 points apiece.Both peaking during the team’s recent five-game stretch, Ndongo is averaging 17.2 points and 11.6 rebounds per game in February, while George is chipping in 22.2 ppg and 6.8 assists since the calendar flipped.
