Clemson men's basketball seeks to build some momentum with another home ACC matchup, hosting Georgia Tech.

Tipoff in Littlejohn Coliseum is set for 9:05 p.m. on Tuesday. Jay Alter and Deb Antonelli will call the broadcast for ACCN. Don Munson, Tim Bourret and Ben Milstead will broadcast the game on the Clemson Athletic Network.

Clemson (12-4, 2-3 ACC) is given a 91.2% win projection by ESPN. Clemson is No. 31 in KenPom's ratings (No. 14 offense/No. 81 defense), while Georgia Tech is 122nd (No. 122 O/No. 146 D).

The Yellow Jackets (8-8, 1-4) are coming off of No. 11 Duke rallying to an 84-79 win Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham to avoid a season sweep to Georgia Tech.

• Clemson and Georgia Tech will meet for the 145th time in program history. Clemson leads 77-67 and the Tigers are 20-8 against the Yellow Jackets under Head Coach Brad Brownell.

• Clemson has won the last three in the series, including four out of the last five.
