The 2022-23 college basketball season continues on Wednesday with an ACC matchup between the Clemson Tigers and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Clemson enters this one as a victor in five of its last six games. That includes a great 85-67 win over Richmond on Saturday where the Tigers shot 48.5%.

Meanwhile, Georgia Tech took down Alabama State, 96-60, on Saturday to earn its fourth win in its last six games. Six Yellow Jackets players scored in double-digits, but it was the efforts of senior Kyle Sturdivant that really stood out. He racked up 13 points (5-of-10 shooting), 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

Clemson vs Georgia Tech Prediction & Pick

Clemson lacks a scorer that can singlehandedly take over the game, but it does roster five players averaging over 9.5 points per game. That kind of depth makes it hard for opponents to successfully defend over the course of an entire game. The Tigers rank 42nd in offensive efficiency as a result.

Georgia Tech finds itself in an entirely different situation. The Yellow Jackets have been thriving due to a defense that allows only 62.2 points per home game. It's a unit that also ranks 14th in opponent three-point shooting percentage (27.1%). That is crucial given Clemson's success from long range.

This lines up as even as any matchup on Wednesday and I'll back a Yellow Jackets team riding a seven-game home winning streak.

Final Score Prediction: Clemson: 65 | Georgia Tech: 70
