After defeating Pittsburgh earlier this week, the Yellow Jackets continue their homestand by welcoming Syracuse to Atlanta. Georgia Tech is 14-0 and 2-0 in the ACC so far this season and they are heavily favored to remain undefeated when they face the Orange today.
Against the Panthers, a pair of Jackets logged 20-point outings, led by Kara Dunn and Dani Carnegie with 28 and 24 points, respectively. Dunn led Tech on the glass with seven rebounds, while Tonie Morgan dished out a team-high eight assists in the win.
With their 14-0 record and continued climb in the polls, where did Georgia Tech land in the latest ESPN Power Rankings? The answer would be lower than their actual ranking in the polls. Georgia Tech checked in at No.14 in the power rankings:
Previous ranking: 14
“Georgia Tech put the hammer down on Pittsburgh 100-61 on Sunday, hitting the century mark in points for the first time in a game since 2015. Junior Kara Dunn led the way with 28 points and seven rebounds, while fellow guard Dani Carnegie had 24 points, the most so far in her exciting freshman season.”
Next seven days: vs. Syracuse (Jan. 2)
I would argue that this ranking is too low. Georgia Tech is an undefeated team and has several marquee wins over teams like North Carolina, Georgia, Oregon, and Mississippi State. The good thing is that this team can continue to ascend if they can keep winning, which they are favored to do tonight vs Syracuse.
Syracuse comes into Thursday’s meeting on a two-game win streak, pocketing victories over Binghamton and Dartmouth. The Orange have played just one ACC game, falling to Notre Dame, 93-62. Georgia Woolley leads the team offensively, averaging 14.6 points per game, while Kyra Wood leads Syracuse with 6.6 rebounds per game. The Orange are 1-1 in true road games this season.
Georgia Tech and Syracuse meet on the hardwood for the 13th time in program history on Thursday. The series is tied at 6-6 after Syracuse collected a 62-59 victory at home last season to even the series. Tech has taken five of the last six meetings against the Orange, including the last four meetings in Atlanta. When competing at home, Tech leads the series, 4-1.
According to Fanduel Sportsbook, Georgia Tech is a 16.5 point favorite today vs Syracuse and the total is set at 145.5.
