Men's Basketball Opens February at Louisville – Men's Basketball … – Georgia Tech
THE FLATS – Georgia Tech opens the month of February by traveling to Louisville for a 7 p.m. Atlantic Coast Conference contest Wednesday at the KFC Yum! Center.
Tech (8-13, 1-10 ACC) looks to snap a seven-game losing streak against the Cardinals, the first of two scheduled regular-season meetings between the two schools. Tech’s only ACC win to date came over No. 12 Miami, 76-70, on Jan. 4, and since then has lost to Florida State, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, NC State, Syracuse, Clemson and Duke, all by double digits with the exception of a one-point, overtime defeat at Notre Dame. The Jackets, 1-7 in the month of January, sit a half-game out of last place in the conference standings.
Louisville (2-19, 0-10 ACC) is the only team below the Yellow Jackets in the ACC standings, The Cardinals have come no closer than eight points (an 80-72 loss at home to Pittsburgh) in any of their conference games to date. Since back-to-back wins at home over Western Kentucky and Florida A&M in mid-December, Louisville has lost its last 10 games.
Wednesday’s game will be televised live on the ACC’s Regional Sports Networks (Bally Sports South in Georgia). Live stream in the local markets is available on BallySports.com, out-of-market on the ESPN app. Radio coverage is on the Georgia Tech Sports Network by Legends Sports and flagship station 680 the Fan (680 AM/93.7 FM), and also on satellite radio (SiriusXM channel 384, SXM app 974).
