UNC Basketball vs. Georgia Tech: How To Watch, Cord-Cutting Options and Tip-Off Time

After a disappointing loss to NC State to begin ACC play, UNC (5-3, 0-1 ACC) travels to Atlanta to face off against Georgia Tech.

Struggles with perimeter shooting plagued the Tar Heels in the final minutes of the game against NC State. R.J. Davis and Caleb Love scored 11 points apiece for the Tar Heels, but together the duo was just 1-for-8 from three-point range. UNC connected on just two of its 12 attempts as a team.

“If you start pointing fingers at one or two players, it hurts your team,” Roy Williams said, when asked about Davis and Love’s shooting woes. “Everybody’s got to do a better job of getting shots. They were 5-for-14, but so was Garrison Brooks. But it is something that we’ve got to shoot the ball better and we’ve got to do a better job with our shot selection.”

Both teams will be looking for their first conference win on Wednesday. Georgia Tech (4-3, 0-1 ACC) comes into the game having dropped its lone ACC game against Florida State earlier in December.
