ACC opponents for Georgia Tech men’s basketball announced

Each ACC school has one permanent and one rotating home-and-away opponent as part of the league’s new rotation.

That home schedule is pretty bad for visitor attendance.

Interesting that each team will also NOT play one conference game each season.

Yep, our team we won’t play is SMU. This was almost certainly done for TV revenue reasons. Now the ACC can handpick 4 big TV games for the most popular programs instead of 3 - for instance, their rotating home+home matchup for Duke was Louisville, so you’ll get 2 Top 25 matchups out of that series rather than 1 and a game between Duke/BC and Louisville/Cal (or whoever they didn’t draw - I made up BC and Cal there).

We got Cal (projected 15th in ACC) rotating which is pretty friendly IMO. Clemson (projected 6th) twice is tough, but hopefully they regress with some core pieces graduating and mostly senior transfer leadership.

I've looked at a few 2026 BBall Mock Drafts and none have his listed. It is early though. I want to enjoy this season with him in case he does leave.

I also didn't see Baye on any of the early mocks either.

About 34 double doubles with 2.5 bpg is gonna have him in the lottery soon enough.

Yep.
Article on ramblinwreck says he is the only freshman in the ACC to start the season with back to back double doubles and one of only two freshmen in the country to do so.

So, Peacone, would your assessment be that players today are more temperamental?

Was it a soft landing or with a thud?
