Non-Conference Test
he interesting part about Georgia Tech’s nonconference slate is that the Yellow Jackets know when they’ll face their toughest opponent, but they don’t yet know whom it will be. Depending on the outcomes of games played on Nov. 26, Tech will face either Villanova or Stanford. Villanova is arguably a top-10 team after winning 33 games last season and bringing in one of the top players in the 2015 recruiting class in Jalen Brunson. Stanford is coming off a year that ended with an NIT title, and the Cardinal could be in the hunt for an NCAA tournament berth this season.

MEASURING STICK GAME
eorgia Tech put up a strong fight against Notre Dame twice last season, which showed that Brian Gregory’s team was capable of at least hanging tough with a top-tier ACC squad. The Fighting Irish project as a Top 25 group again this year, and whether or not the Yellow Jackets can steal a win in South Bend on Jan. 13 or in Atlanta on Feb. 20 will say a lot about their potential. Notre Dame returns All-ACC candidates Demetrius Jackson and Zach Auguste, so beating the Irish won’t be easy. But a sweep or a split would show that Georgia Tech has taken a step forward.

Payback Opportunity
iven all of the close losses, the 2014-15 season as a whole was heartbreaking for Georgia Tech. However, the Jackets must absolutely be aching for a victory over Boston College after losing to the Eagles twice last year. Those two losses came by a combined three points and included a 66-65 defeat on Tuesday of the ACC Tournament, which ended Tech’s season. The Eagles enter this season with even more questions than they had last year, and there’s no reason why the Yellow Jackets won’t be able to get the job done when they travel to Chestnut Hill Feb. 27.
