Pick: Georgia Tech may have saved its best basketball for last. The Yellow Jackets won five of their last six (4-2 ATS), including victories over Clemson, Notre Dame and Pitt, all top-50 teams. That win over the Tigers came at home, 75-73, on Feb. 23.

Clemson, meanwhile, limped down the stretch. Since Jan. 30, the Tigers have won three games — two against Boston College (0-19 ACC) and one against Georgia Tech. They're 4-6 ATS in that span.

With the majority of bets coming in on Clemson, we'll back a hotter Tech team in this game.
