Georga Tech comes into today's matchup against Notre Dame on a six game losing streak and they will be looking to get a key win and try to get back in the ACC Tournament picture.

Tech trailed by just four points at halftime, but a cold start to the second half allowed the Deacs to pull away. Kowacie Reeves Jr. and Baye Ndongo were the bright spots for the Jackets, chipping in 18 and 14 points, respectively. Ndongo just missed a double-double with a team-high nine rebounds.

Notre Dame enters Saturday’s matchup on a five-game skid, having last been victorious with a 68-64 decision over Boston College on Jan. 27. The Fighting Irish are coming off a narrow 89-81 defeat at SMU on Tuesday night. Notre Dame lost its leading scorer, Markus Burton, to injury early in the season and are paced by Jalen Haralson (15.5 points per game) and Braeden Shrewsberry (12.0 ppg).
