When the ACC experienced a down year in the unfinished 2019-20 college basketball season, it was part of what allowed Georgia Tech to place 5th in the conference standings at 11-9. But the Jackets shouldn’t count on such fortune again heading into 2021. While the nonconference portion of the schedule doesn’t leave much margin for error, Tech’s conference schedule provides nothing but opportunity. It can withstand some losses - even more than the 9 they had last year - if it picks up some quality wins along the way.
The Yellow Jackets schedule features 12 of its 20 ACC games against KenPom preseason top 40 teams.
