What to Know
The Howard Bison will head out on the road to face off against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday at McCamish Pavilion. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
Howard took care of business in their home opener on Monday. They walked away with a 92-80 victory over the Pirates.
Meanwhile, Georgia Tech’s and Georgia Southern’s contest on Monday was close at halftime, but Georgia Tech turned on the heat in the second half with 52 points. Everything went the Yellow Jackets’ way against the Eagles as the Yellow Jackets made off with a 84-62 win. Winning is a bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 11 more assists than your opponent, as Georgia Tech did.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Georgia Tech to victory, but perhaps none more so than Miles Kelly, who earned 25 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Kowacie Reeves Jr., who earned 15 points along with 3 steals.
The Bison and the Yellow Jackets both started their seasons with a win, but there can be only one on Thursday.
Howard is hoping to beat the odds on Thursday, as the experts think they’re headed for a loss. They finished last season with an even 14-14 record against the spread.
The disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for Howard considering the team was a sub-par 6-10 as the underdog last season. Betting on them to win was the most profitable play last year, as bettors who put $100 on that outcome in every game walked away with $487.98. On the other hand, Georgia Tech will play as the favorite, and the team was 7-1 as such last season.
