The team boasts a shooting percentage of 42.9% from the field, 32.3% from distance, and a free throw percentage of 71.8%. With a solid assist to turnover ratio of 16.8 to 12.3, returning starter Naithan George leads the team with 5.8 assists.

This season, the team has enhanced its roster with key additions in the frontcourt to complement standout forward Baye Ndongo. The team's improved balance will serve as an advantage against the Bearcats, who present a formidable challenge. Despite Cincinnati's dominant start to the season, their matchup against us will be their most challenging yet, and the 8-point spread favors us, particularly with Cincinnati playing their second consecutive road game. Notably, Georgia Tech's impressive home record includes victories over elite teams like Duke, North Carolina, and Mississippi State, indicating our capability to compete with Cincinnati, especially if we can find success from beyond the arc. Taking Georgia Tech +8 is a favorable bet in this scenario.
