Cincinnati Basketball: Bearcats get ready to host ACC opponent Georgia Tech

As non-conference play continues, the Cincinnati Bearcats are scheduled to host the ACC opponent Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Wednesday night!

Cincinnati is fresh off a 90-66 win over Northern Kentucky to stay unbeaten but Georgia Tech could pose a legitimate threat as the programs clash.

Georgia Tech guard Miles Kelly leads the team with 21.0 points per game, and forward Tyzhaun Claude averages 12.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.

The Bearcats are currently 9.5-point favorites over Georgia Tech with the over/under placed at 149.5 total points according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

• Location: Fifth Third Arena in Cincinnati
• Series History: Bearcats lead 7-3

Even though Georgia Tech has enough talent to stay within striking distance, the Bearcats should be able to pull away and eventually secure a notable victory!

Players to watch in the matchup include Cincinnati center Viktor Lakhin, backcourt duo Jizzle James and DaVeon Thomas, forward Dan Skillings Jr and more.

The most recent meeting against Georgia Tech took place in the 1996 NCAA Tournament as Bearcats big man Danny Fortson fueled the way to an 87-70 win.

Wes Miller’s frontcourt should get a major boost from Aziz Bandaogo as he makes his long-awaited season debut after being cleared to play this week.

Bandaogo is a two-time transfer so he had to apply for a waiver to play immediately and his appeal was denied by the NCAA last month before changing it.

Prior to announcing his transfer to Cincinnati during the offseason, Bandaogo began his career at Akron and then transferred to Utah Valley a season ago.

The Senegal product played at the NBA Academy in Africa before moving to the United States years ago and eventually joining the Bearcats this season.

With a chance to secure an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 2019, Cincinnati is looking to pick up a quality win against the ACC opponent!
