Miami (10-7, 1-3) at Georgia Tech (8-11, 1-4)
When: 9 p.m.
Where: Atlanta, Phillips Arena (18,729)
Fast break: This is a must win game for Miami, no other way to look at it. The Hurricanes have been disappointing in recent weeks, and if they are to make a push for the NCAA Tournament, that has to begin with a victory over a Yellow Jackets team due to play well. Tech has lost seven of eight games, but it’s win was at N.C. State, to it can certainly flare up and beat quality teams. Canes simple must protect the ball, make smart passes, and not forget about its bigs inside.
Forecast: Miami, 73-69.
Andrew Jones’ record: 148-38
