Notre Dame Basketball Quick Preview: Irish VS Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are in deep, deep trouble and have been for pretty much the entire season. An 0-5 start to their ACC schedule is every bit as disastrous as their 8-8 overall record would indicate — especially when you actually consider who the Irish beat, and how tough those wins were.

Perhaps things take a turn for the better for Notre Dame against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets — at least for one night. Mike Brey’s philosophy isn’t getting the results we need this season, which is even more disastrous than the record shows with the age and experience on the roster — so we shouldn’t expect anything at this point.

ODDS

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Irish are 5 point favorites against GT with an OVER/UNDER of 136.5.
