Sat Mar 01 19:50:00 UTC 2025: ## NC State Wolfpack Faces Tough Test Against Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

**Atlanta, GA** – The NC State Wolfpack will face a crucial road test against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets this Saturday, March 1st, at 3:00 PM in McCamish Pavilion. Both KenPom and Bart Torvik predict a close game, favoring Georgia Tech by a narrow margin (71-67).

This matchup holds significant implications for NC State’s postseason hopes. Currently sitting 17th in the ACC, the Wolfpack needs to win to keep their ACC tournament hopes alive; only the top 14 teams qualify. Their road record is a major concern, with an average losing margin of 10.3 points in ACC away games.

Georgia Tech, under second-year coach Damon Stoudamire, boasts a roster featuring returning sophomores Baye Ndongo and Naithan George, along with key additions like transfer Duncan Powell and redshirts Ibrahim Souare and Lance Terry. While the Yellow Jackets suffered an early upset against North Florida, they’ve also secured impressive wins against Pitt, Louisville, and Clemson.

NC State has demonstrated the ability to compete at a high level on both offense and defense, but consistency has been an issue. To secure a victory against Georgia Tech, the Wolfpack will need to deliver a complete, cohesive performance on both ends of the court.
