The Syracuse basketball team continues their ACC home-stand vs the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday night. Here’s what’s going to happen.

In the epic words of Michael Buffer…”LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!” The Syracuse basketball squad has been busy this week with games vs Clemson, Georgia Tech on Saturday, and oh yeah a road trip to Duke on Monday. Fun.

Syracuse is red smoking hot playing their best basketball, winners of four straight. The Orange average just over 70 points per contest, while only giving up a mere 60 defensively.

A similar story exists for the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech averages a little more offensively, yet defensively gives up a few more points per game.

The pre game feelings on this one suggest a defensive slugfest in the Carrier Dome on Saturday night between these two ACC foes. If that’s the case, the winner may just be the team who can take the greater beating.

How will this one play out ultimately? Our expert panel gave their thoughts on another pivotal ACC matchup on Saturday night in the Carrier Dome.
