They are turning it over an average of 11 times per game which isn’t too bad at all.
SUMMARY
This will be a tough matchup here with the rivalry factor also playing into it. This can go a few different ways which Georgia winning in a high scoring affair or Georgia Tech winning in a low scoring game. Given that both teams have only faced a few opponents and are hardly tested the home-court advantage should play a role here.
