Matchup Breakdown

Lafayette Outlook

Lafayette averages 72.1 points per game, with Caleb Williams and Andrew Phillips leading the offense. Their perimeter shooting (36.7% from three) adds scoring balance, but defensive struggles (allowing 34.3% from deep) remain a concern. Their 0-6 road record underscores the challenge of competing in Atlanta.

Georgia Tech Outlook

Georgia Tech averages 75 points per game with Kowacie Reeves Jr. providing scoring punch (15.4 ppg, 42.2% from three). Their rebounding edge (40.5 per game, 61st nationally) and balanced scoring highlight efficiency. Their 7-2 home record and 7-1 mark as favorites underscore betting confidence.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory

The game hinges on perimeter shooting and rebounding. Lafayette must lean on Williams and Phillips to hit threes, while Georgia Tech needs Reeves and Sylla to control boards and pace. If Georgia Tech maintains efficiency, their depth should create separation.
