After a dominant game one victory last night, Georgia Tech is aiming for a series win and a regular season ACC title. With a win or a North Carolina loss tonight, the Yellow Jackets would take home their second consecutive ACC regular season championship. The simplest scenario is that James Ramsey’s team takes care of business and does not have to rely on NC State to pull an upset.
