In the challenging environs of North Carolina’s Smith Center, Georgia Tech was unable to score a win in its ACC opener last Saturday in Chapel Hill, N.C. The Yellow Jackets will try again Wednesday at No. 24 Pittsburgh. At the Petersen Events Center, their home since 2002, the Panthers have an all-time winning percentage of a mere .871.
And if it doesn’t happen Saturday, the Jackets can try for their first ACC win against No. 4 Virginia this Saturday at McCamish Pavilion. It’s a rather brutal start for a team that, coming off a season that never got on track, could use a little bit of scheduling help.
