My Prediction
Wake Forest Demon Deacons by 7Alright, let's dive into the nitty-gritty of this exciting match-up. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are buzzing into the Demon Deacons' territory.
Now, the Yellow Jackets have Baye Ndongo, a regular double-double performer this season, sinking 19.1 points and hauling down 13.0 rebounds per game in the last month alone. Let's not forget Naithan George and his partner in hoop crime, Duncan Powell, who've been adding a steady stream of points as well.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the court, you've got the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. They've got Hunter Sallis and Cameron Hildreth, both of whom have been lights out on the scoreboard. Sallis doesn't mess about when he has the ball, recently bringing in 17.9 points per game, and Hildreth isn't far behind him.
And let's take a quick stroll down memory lane, the Yellow Jackets and Deacons have had some heated encounters in the past, with scores hanging in the balance till the final whistle. Scary stuff, especially if you have a weak heart or a large bet placed.
The Deacons have had a slightly better season run with 20 wins compared to the Yellow Jackets' 16. But taking a quick peek at recent form paints a vivid, almost Picasso-like image. Georgia Tech has been finding the net more often, with a triumphant win over Miami Hurricanes as a testament, but the Deacons got burned badly in their recent encounter with the Duke Blue Devils which might have doused their fiery momentum a bit.
Bottom line - throw all your precious stats and mathematical models out of the window. This one's going to the wire. But, considering all the hoop hysteria and court chaos that's about to unfold, I'm going with the home advantage here.
