3. They Have The Worst Field Goal Percentage Offense In The Conference

Well, it turns out that Louisville isn’t the worst shooting basketball team in the ACC this season, it’s actually the Yellow Jackets. They are only .432 percent of their shots and scoring a dismal 68.6 points per game this year.

With that being said, the Cardinals cannot take the Yellow Jackets lightly on Saturday afternoon.

Just like the Cards, even though Georgia Tech doesn’t shoot well, they play very hard on the defensive end of the floor. Obviously the Duke game was the one exception this year.

Other than the Duke game, G-Tech is only giving up 64.8 points per game this season, which is fifth in the conference.
