Georgia Tech Upsets Florida State 80-75 to Win 2021 ACC Championship

For the first time in 27 years, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are ACC tournament champions after their 80-75 win over the Florida State Seminoles on Saturday night.

Georgia Tech secured a spot in Saturday's game after Virginia had to withdraw from the tournament because of a positive COVID-19 test within the program. This marked the Yellow Jackets' first appearance in the ACC title game since 2010.

Florida State advanced to the title game by holding off North Carolina in the semifinal. Head coach Leonard Hamilton's squad finished the regular season with a 16-6 overall record and will likely secure an at-large berth in the NCAA tournament.
