NCAA Men’s Basketball action will continue when the Florida State Seminoles will take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The Seminoles are off a very uncomfortable win over their rival Florida Gators. The game was marred by Gators senior Keyontae Johnson passing out on the court unprovoked. He has since been in the hospital in a stable, but critical state. Despite that, the Seminoles finished the game and won.
Final 𝗙𝗦𝗨 83 𝗨𝗙 71
🙏Praying for Keyontae 🙏

The Yellow Jackets haven’t enjoyed a 3-0 start to the season like the Seminoles. In fact, a loss in this game would push Georgia Tech to under .500. However, they are currently on a two-game win streak, including a win over the Kentucky Wildcats when they were still ranked.
The Seminoles may be the prohibitive favorite, but the Wildcats are built like a team built to upset. They are off a strong win against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, but can they pull it off against the intimidating Seminoles?

It is hard to look past Florida State. They are easily one of the best teams at the start of this season. However, Georgia Tech is undefeated away from home in their last eight road games. This is genuinely a big clash considering one of the teams will have something on their record sullied. Be it a clean road record or a clean overall record.

The Seminoles are the defending ACC Champions and will look to book a top-10 berth in the rankings. While the Yellow Jackets are a good team, they still need a few more wins to get themselves ranked.

The Seminoles will take the floor led by Scottie Barnes. Along with him will be M.J. Walker, Balsa Koprivica, Raiquan Gray, and Anthony Polite. The Yellow Jackets are led by senior Moses Wright. The team that will line up for them will feature Wright, Jordan Usher, Jose Alvarado, Michael Devoe, and Bubba Parham.
For our prediction, we will go with FSU. It is hard to see what answer the Yellow Jackets have for either Scottie Barnes or even M.J. Walker. The depth of their team can contain Georgia Tech, so another win can be expected.
