After the past two weeks, Georgia Tech may want to petition the ACC office to tweak their basketball schedule a bit.
For Georgia Tech Hoops, Every Day Should Be Saturday
↵Here’s a look at the Yellow Jackets’ results since topping Charlotte on a Saturday night to start 2010.

- ↵
- Tuesday, January 5th: lost at Georgia, where they haven't won since 1976. ↵
- Saturday, January 9th at 2 p.m. Eastern: beat then fifth-ranked Duke, 71-67, leading to a court storming. ↵
- Wednesday, January 13th: lost at Virginia, 82-75. ↵
- Saturday, January 16th at 2 p.m. Eastern: held off No. 12 North Carolina, 73-71. ↵
↵↵Notice a little something about the tip day and time for the two wins?
↵Sure, today’s victory wasn’t easy. The Yellow Jackets led by 20 with 8:08 left in the first half, and the Tar Heels slowly but surely ate into the lead, turning the game into a seesaw battle. UNC’s Will Graves attempted a three at the buzzer that would have given the Tar Heels the win. But he missed, and Georgia Tech earned their first win in Chapel Hill since 1996.
↵The Yellow Jackets should win their next Saturday tip, against Division II Kentucky State on January 30th, but the school may want to switch the tip time to the magical 2 p.m. hour to be safe.
↵Until then, it’s midweek and Sunday games for Georgia Tech, who next hosts 24th-ranked Clemson on Tuesday night.
