Miami Outlook
Miami averages 82.6 points per game, with Malik Reneau, Tre Donaldson, and Tru Washington leading the offense. Reneau’s scoring (20.7 ppg) and Donaldson’s playmaking (15.9 ppg, 6.7 assists) highlight offensive strength. Their physicality inside with Ernest Udeh Jr. (10.2 rebounds per game) and Shelton Henderson adds balance. Their 13-2 overall record and 2-0 ACC mark underscore momentum heading into this matchup.

Georgia Tech averages 74.2 points per game, with Kowacie Reeves Jr., Baye Ndongo, and Lamar Washington providing scoring depth. Reeves leads with 15.7 points per game, while Ndongo’s rebounding (7.8 per game) has been crucial with Mouhamed Sylla sidelined.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory
The game hinges on Miami’s ability to dominate the paint and control tempo, while Georgia Tech must lean on Reeves and Ndongo to pace the offense.
