Georgia Tech plays relatively fast, ranking 102nd for possessions per game, and can fill it up at home. In recent games in Atlanta, the Yellow Jackets piled up 90 (in overtime), 89 and 87 points. Jacksonville State operates more slowly yet averaged more points per game (73.9) than did Tech (73.4). In the Gamecocks' latest outing (against Liberty), the Over carried by 14.5 points. These early Tuesday NIT games, which tip off barely 48 hours after the schedule is announced, allow little time to prepare defensively.
