This game will be played at Greensboro Coliseum at 2:30 PM ET on Wednesday, March 8, 2023.
Why Bet on Pitt:
✅ Georgia Tech comes into this game on a rest disadvantage, after having to play on Tuesday in the opening round of the tournament. Pitt should benefit from having fresh legs, relatively speaking.
✅ In that Tuesday game, Georgia Tech looked incredibly shaky throughout. They were fortunate to secure a late comeback win, but there was nothing about their performance that suggests they are equipped to run with the big boys in the ACC.
✅ Pitt has gone 2-0 against Georgia Tech this year, beating them by at least eight points in both of those regular season meetings.

Head to Head
Teams Last 10
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets opened up the 2023 ACC Tournament with a win over the Florida State Seminoles. They fought back from behind for most of the game, getting a foul call with 0.2 seconds remaining, and sealing the game at the free throw line. Here, the Jackets face a tougher test, as they face a Pitt team that they have not been able to beat yet this season.
To have a chance in this game, the Yellow Jackets will need another big game out of Miles Kelly. Kelly went off for 21 of Georgia Tech’s 61 points in Tuesday’s win. Against a Pitt team that is much better than the Florida State team they faced on Tuesday, he will need to step up once again to keep his team within striking distance.
Pitt Panthers
The Pitt Panthers received a first round bye in this tournament, finishing fifth in the conference after an underwhelming finish to the regular season. The Panthers lost to Miami and Notre Dame on the road to close out their campaign, and they will look to get back on the right track in this game against a Georgia Tech team that they have beaten twice already on the year.
Finding their defense again will be the key to this game for the Panthers, after some serious defensive issues to close out the regular season. Over the last three games of the regular season, the Panthers allowed 82.7 points per game, over 13 points per game above their season average. They need to get back to the level of defense that got them to the top of the ACC standings if they want to move onto the next round.
