UNC Basketball vs. Georgia Tech: Preview, game info, prediction and more

The North Carolina Tar Heels return to Atlantic Coast Conference action on Saturday when they host Georgia Tech in their third conference game of the year.

UNC opened up the 2019-20 season by hosting Notre Dame and moved to 1-0 by beating the Fighting Irish in the Dean Dome. Since then, UNC has dropped four non-conference games and a conference game to Virginia along the way.

The Tar Heels will enter this matchup at 8-5 overall and 1-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference play, struggling without their star freshman point guard Cole Anthony. UNC has been pretty banged up this year with injuries, losing Anthony for extended time and now fellow freshman guard Anthony Harris will miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury.
