Georgia Tech Faces Tough Road Challenge Against Florida State

Georgia Tech's offensive struggles in away games have been a significant factor in their winless record on the road, currently standing at 0-4 (1-3-0 ATS). In their upcoming game, it will be crucial for the Yellow Jackets to score at least 70 points to have a chance at victory, but that may prove challenging against the formidable defense of the Seminoles, especially given their difficulties with free throw shooting.
