A pair of ACC teams will play each other on Saturday afternoon when the 7^th-ranked Duke Blue Devils travel to Atlanta, Georgia to face the Georgia Yellow Jackets at McCamish Pavilion with the game scheduled to start at 2:15 PM ET.

Duke enters this game ranked 7^th in the AP Poll and 7^th in the Coaches Poll with a record of 5-2 and is coming off a 75-80 loss on the road against the Arkansas Razorbacks on Wednesday. The Blue Devils have not lived up to their expectations entering the season as they have now lost two games following the loss against Arkansas. However, the Blue Devils have been one of the highest-scoring teams in college basketball as they enter this game averaging 82.71 points per game while Kyle Filipowski has continued his stellar freshman year with a solid start in his sophomore year as he leads the team in scoring, rebounds, steals, and blocks with an average of 19.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game. The Blue Devils will look to bounce back following the loss against Arkansas when they travel to play the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets enter this game with a record of 3-2 and ended their two-game losing streak with a 67-9 win at home against the 21^st-ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs in the ACC/SEC Challenge on Tuesday. Georgia Tech had their best defensive game this season on Tuesday as they allowed a season-low 59 points, however, they have still been a below-average defensive team this season as they are allowing an average of 73.8 points per game which is above the 71.27 average for the rest of college basketball. The Yellow Jackets will look to build off the momentum of the win against a Top 25 team when they face a Top 10 ACC opponent on Tuesday afternoon when they host the Duke Blue Devils.
