Georgia Tech @ #4 NC State

[LETTERL]

#4 NC State (22-2, 11-2 ACC) continues its homestand Sunday afternoon at 2 pm, hosting Georgia Tech (16-9, 7-7 ACC). The game is not televised but is available through the ACC Network Extra streaming service.

NC State is coming off one its most disappointing efforts of the season, falling to Louisville Thursday night in a highly-anticipated and highly-publicized showdown. Georgia Tech also comes into the game off a loss, falling to Virginia Tech in OT Thursday evening.

Sunday's game marks the 71st meeting between the two teams. NC State leads the series 47-23, and has won 6 in a row against the Yellow Jackets. Last season, NC State traveled to Atlanta and emerged with a 68-60 win. Georgia Tech's last win in the series came in the 2012-2013 season. NC State is 23-8 against Georgia Tech in Raleigh.

GT came into this game dead last in the ACC in THREE-point shooting percentage...and NC State came in first. The roles have reversed today.

I keep hoping the ACC Network would do a feature on this guy. He should start a podcast and social media empire.
