Pythia's preview, written before tip-off

Georgia Tech faces Eastern Kentucky in the NCAA on 10 November 2026, with the model designating the Yellow Jackets as the clear favourite, rating them 84% to win largely because of their 2-0 season record, 85.0 points per game and 69.0 allowed per game, while Eastern Kentucky also sits 2-0 but averages 105.5 points and 61.0 allowed. Georgia Tech's home slate shows a 2-0 record, 85.0 points and 69.0 allowed, and they have won two of their last five games, including a 95-83 victory over Georgia Southern and a 75-55 win over Hampton; they lost 76-79 to Clemson away on 7 March 2026. Eastern Kentucky's road record is 2-0, 105.5 points and 61.0 allowed, with two wins in their last five, notably 106-68 over Midway and 105-54 over Kentucky Christian, and a 76-92 loss to Stetson at home on 4 March 2026. The model projects a 85-73 score, 158.1 total points, a home line of -16.5 with a 32% chance of covering, a total line of 160.5 with a 44% over probability, and a 3% chance of overtime. The game will likely see Georgia Tech maintain its strong defensive output against Eastern Kentucky's high-scoring offense.
