Greensboro, N.C. – Carrying the momentum of two road wins to close out the regular season, Georgia Tech opens the New Life Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament by facing Florida State at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Greensboro (N.C.) Coliseum. The winner of their game Tuesday will face No. 5 seed Pittsburgh at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Georgia Tech (14-17, 6-14 ACC) is the 13th seed in the tournament but enters the week having won its last three games and five of its last seven conference games. The Yellow Jackets won their first two ACC road games of the season last week, running past Syracuse, 96-76, and defeating Boston College, 73-65, on its Senior Day, which followed an 83-67 victory over Louisville in its final home game on Feb. 25.

Florida State (9-22, 7-13 ACC), the No. 12 seed, started its conference schedule by winning five of nine games, including a 75-64 decision over Georgia Tech on Jan. 7. But the Seminoles have lost nine of 11 since, winning only at Louisville (81-78) on Feb. 4 and at Miami (85-84) on Feb. 25.

Tuesday’s game will be televised live on the ACC Network with a live stream of the broadcast available the ESPN app. Radio coverage is on the Georgia Tech Sports Network by Legends Sports, carried in Atlanta on 680 the Fan (680 AM and 93.7 FM), and nationally on SiriusXM satellite radio.

THE TIP-OFF

• Georgia Tech and Florida State are battling in the ACC Tournament for the fourth time. The Seminoles have won two of the three prior meetings (by a total of three points), but the Yellow Jackets’ victory came in the championship game of the 2021 tournament by an 80-75 score in Greensboro.

• Tech has played 28 of its 66 ACC Tournament games at the Greensboro Coliseum, posting an 11-17 record with one championship in 2021 and three runner-up finishes in 1986, 1996 and 2010.

• Tech is 4-12 all-time in Tuesday opening round games at the ACC Tournament and has lost its last four dating back to an 88-85 overtime victory against Clemson in 2016.

• Tech’s upswing over the last month of the season has been spurred by the emergence of its two transfers, senior guard Lance Terry and senior center Ja’von Franklin, who have averaged 14.2 and 14.1 points, respectively, over the last nine games.

• Tech has averaged 75.6 points per game over that stretch, connected on 45.6 percent of its shots from the floor and 39.6 percent of its three-point attempts. The Jackets have averaged 10.3 three-point field goals made.

Greensboro, N.C. – Georgia Tech sophomore Miles Kelly, who scored 51 points in leading the Yellow Jackets to a pair of road victories in the final week of the regular season last week, has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week. Duke center Kyle Filipowski picked up the ACC Rookie of the Week award for the ninth time this season.

Continuing a hot streak that dates back five games, Kelly led Tech to its first two road victories of the season in the final week of the regular season, 96-76 at Syracuse and 73-65 at Boston College. The 6-6 guard scored a career-high 30 points in the Yellow Jackets win at Syracuse, hitting 10 of 19 shots from the floor and 7-of-14 from three-point range, all career highs, in a game the Jackets ran away with in the second half. He followed that performance by scoring 21 points at Boston College, hitting 7-of-14 from the floor and 5-of-11 from three-point range. In that game, he made a pair of threes to start an 11-0 run to rally the Jackets back from a 55-46 deficit, then added another from NBA range to give the Jackets the lead for good, 66-63 with 1:46 to go.

For the week, Kelly averaged 25.5 points, hitting 17-of-33 shots from the floor (51.5 percent) and 12-of-25 from three-point range (48 percent). Over his last six games, the Stone Mountain, Ga., native has averaged 20.2 points while connecting 49.4 percent of his shots from the floor and 45.9 percent of his three-point tries.

The Yellow Jackets (14-17, 6-14 ACC) has the No. 13 seed in the ACC Tournament and will begin play at 2 p.m. Tuesday against Florida State at the Greensboro Coliseum.

ACC men’s basketball weekly honors are determined by a vote of a 15-member media panel and announced on Mondays throughout the regular season.

A native of Westtown, New York, Filipowski averaged 16.5 points and 13.5 rebounds per game as Duke defeated Triangle rivals NC State and North Carolina last week. Filipowski posted double-doubles in each contest, with 11 points and 14 rebounds in the Tuesday win over NC State, and followed that a monster 22-point, 13-rebound effort at North Carolina. Filipowski was 14-of-17 at the free throw line for the week (7-of-9 vs. NC State and 7-of-8 vs. UNC), including 4-of-5 in the game’s closing minutes at UNC to ice the win. The 20-point game at UNC was his fourth this season and marked his team-leading 27th double-figure scoring effort in 31 games. Filipowski’s 14 double-doubles are tied for fourth most by a Duke freshman (matching the number posted by Zion Williamson, Jabari Parker and Gene Banks), while his 122 free throws made are ninth most by a Duke freshman.

Sheesh....

Georgia Tech will be throwing Dalton Smith on Tuesday against Lipscomb, who will be throwing Alex Brewer.

In four appearances this season, including one start, Brewer has a 6.00 ERA with 14 K, 5 BB, and 9 hits allowed.

THE FLATS – Georgia Tech baseball earned its fourth Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Week on Monday when Jackson Finley earned the honor for his terrific week at the plate and on the mound.



Finley helped the Yellow Jackets go 3-2 on the week, belting four home runs for nine RBI while also drawing three walks. Hitting .356 from designated hitter and first base, Finley also slugged 1.214 with a .471 on-base percentage.



The Richmond Hill native also took the rubber on Sunday, getting his third start and going 4.0 strong innings against archrival Georgia at Coolray Field. He held the Bulldogs’ offense to just two hits with four strikeouts to put his season ERA at 1.38.



Finley joins teammates Jake DeLeo (Feb. 20), Dawson Brown and Angelo Dispigna (Feb. 27) as Georgia Tech’s Collegiate Baseball National Players of the Week, making it three-straight weeks the Jackets have had a selection.



Georgia Tech will have a four-game homestand this week, beginning against Lipscomb on Tuesday, March 7 at 4 p.m. The Yellow Jackets then begin Atlantic Coast Conference play when they host Notre Dame on March 10-12.

Love watching this team and they are making me money …. What’s the chance they will make the NIT

Going dancing for the first time ever with a 1 pt ASUN finals win over Liberty biberty. Congrats to the Hooters. 🦉

It seems the biggest problem with .NET is that it believes that teams and players are incapable of improving during the season....so the ratings earned in Nov and Dec tend to compound points you are able to earn come Jan and Feb.

According to .NET, the ACC ranks the following, with the ACC standing in parenthesis.

1 - Duke at 22 (5th place)
2 - UVA at 29 (3rd place)
3 - Miami at 34 (2nd place)
4 - NCState at 42 (6th place)
5 - UNC at 45 (7th place)
6 - Pitt at 53 (1st place)
7 - Clemson at 62 (4th place)

If Clemson beats Notre Dame Saturday, or UNC beats Duke, then Clemson gets a double-bye in the ACCT, but still may not make the NCAAT because, for whatever reason, the selection committee and .NET loves the Big 10. The .NET has Ohio State essentially even with Clemson at 64....but Ohio State is 4-14 in Big 10 play and 12-17 overall.

On ACCPM this week they pointed out that since 1990, the Big 10 has received 196 NCAAT bids and won only one NCAAT, which was Michigan State in 2000.....23 years ago. I know that winning the entire thing does not reflect the quality of the overall conference, but really they have not done well as a whole in the NCAAT and you would think they would have more than one title over 30+ years. I am just not sure how you justify sending 9 Big 10 teams and 5 ACC teams again this year.

What an absolute low class clown! KQ, RJ, is there any truth that he's talking GT down to HS coaches? Most of the one's that I know and have worked with know he's a clown, but the last thing GT needs is someone creating more obstacles.

#GaTech finishes the season strong with wins in six of the final eight games including back-to-back road wins. The Jackets dropped BC 73-65 on Saturday to end regular season play.

THE FLATS – Ricky Brumfield, who has been a special teams coordinator at the collegiate level for more than two decades – including the last 12 seasons at the NCAA Division I level – has been hired in the same role at Georgia Tech, head coach Brent Key announced on Friday.



“I’m excited to officially welcome Coach Brumfield and his family to the Georgia Tech football family,” Key said. “Coach Brumfield fits the profile of our entire staff as a veteran coach who develops student-athletes on and off the field, is a strong recruiter and brings championship experience to our program.”



Continuing a trend of coaches bringing championship experience to Georgia Tech football’s staff, Brumfield has won five conference titles as a coach and player. In all, Key, his 10 full-time assistant coaches and analysts have combined to win 89 championships as players and coaches, ranking from high school state titles to Super Bowl appearances.



Brumfield comes to The Flats after having spent the 2022 season as special teams coordinator and associate head coach at Florida International. In his lone season at FIU, the Panthers ranked No. 23 nationally in special teams efficiency, an improvement of nearly 50 spots from its 2021 rank of No. 72. FIU also blocked three kicks, which was tied for 19th nationally, and surrendered zero special teams scores. In addition to his duties as special teams coordinator and associate head coach, Brumfield also coached FIU’s outside linebackers.



His one season at FIU followed four seasons in the Atlantic Coast Conference as special teams coordinator at Virginia (2018-21). At UVA, Brumfield oversaw the nation’s No. 2-ranked kickoff return unit in 2019. As a team, the Cavaliers set school records for kickoff return average (28.7 ypr) and total kickoff return yards (1,204). The unit was highlighted by Joe Reed, who won the 2019 Jet Award as the nation’s top kick returner. Under Brumfield’s tutelage, Reed led the nation in 2019 with two kickoff returns for touchdowns and finished his collegiate career as the top kickoff returner in UVA history with 3,042 yards, which also made him one of only 10 players in Division I FBS history with 3,000 kick return yards in a career.



In Brumfield’s first season at Virginia (2018), the Cavaliers finished atop the ACC and No. 7 nationally in punt return defense (3.21 ypr), just one season after UVA ranked 117th nationally. In his final season with the Cavaliers, UVA ranked seventh nationally in special teams efficiency.



In his four seasons at Virginia, UVA never finished below .500 (after suffering six-straight losing seasons prior to his arrival). The Cavaliers won the ACC Coastal Division championship and earned an Orange Bowl berth in 2019.



Before his four-year tenure at UVA, Brumfield was special teams coordinator for two seasons at Texas-San Antonio (2016-17), he coached semifinalists for both the Lou Groza Award (nation’s top place kicker - Jared Sackett) and Ray Guy Award (nation’s top punter – Yannis Routsas) in 2017. UTSA was one of only three teams to boast Groza and Guy semifinalists in 2017 and Sackett earned freshman all-America honors after setting school records with 19 field goals and 80 points.



In 2016, Brumfield’s special teams units set UTSA records for touchbacks (27) and punting average (42.0) to help lead the Roadrunners to the New Mexico Bowl, the first bowl game in program history.



Brumfield’s first position at the FBS level came as special teams coordinator at Western Kentucky from 2013-15, where he helped lead the Hilltoppers to a Sun Belt Conference championship in 2013 and the Conference USA title in 2015. In his first season at WKU in 2013, the Hilltoppers led the Sun Belt in both kickoff and punt return defense. In his third and final season with the Hilltoppers in 2015, WKU went 12-2, beat South Florida in the Miami Beach Bowl and finished ranked No. 24 nationally.



Brumfield broke into the Division I coaching ranks as special teams coordinator at Nicholls State in 2011-12. His impact was felt immediately, as Nicholls State blocked six kicks, finished 14th in Division I FCS in kickoff return average and saw punter Cory Kemps rank sixth nationally with a 42.8-yard average in 2011. He also coached kickoff returner Chika Madu, who wound up setting Nicholls’ school record and ranking second in Southland Conference history with 2,076 career kickoff return yards.



His 22 seasons of experience as a special teams coordinator began with stints at Union (Ky.) College (2001-03) and Fairmont State (2004-10).



Brumfield has also made his mark as a position coach, as he has mentored wide receivers (2001-03 at Union, 2004-10 at Fairmont State), safeties (2011-12 at Nicholls State), cornerbacks (2013-15 at Western Kentucky, 2021 at Virginia), tight ends (2016-17 at UTSA, 2020 at Virginia) and outside linebackers (2022 at FIU) during the course of his career. Highlights include coaching five all-conference performers in three seasons at Western Kentucky, including cornerbacks Wonderful Terry and Cam Thomas (the latter of which went on to play for the NFL’s Buffalo Bills), and WKU leading the Sun Belt in total defense, interceptions, pass defense and pass efficiency defense in 2013.



Brumfield played collegiately at Utah State, where he was a four-year letterwinner and two-year starter at wide receiver. He helped lead the Aggies to a pair of Big West Conference championships and a berth in the 1997 Humanitarian Bowl.



He earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 1999 and a master’s degree in secondary education from Union in 2003. He and his wife, Erin, have four children – Kyan, McKel, Tacy and Asher.

THE FLATS – New Realm Brewing Co., the Official Craft Beer of Georgia Tech athletics, announced on Wednesday that its second Georgia Tech-inspired beer, Ale of an Engineer Golden Ale, will be available publicly on Saturday.



Ale of an Engineer is a refreshing golden ale with a light citrusy and piney hop aroma, featuring Cascade and Idaho 7 hops. It will be available for purchase at Georgia Tech home athletics events, beginning with Saturday’s baseball showdown versus archrival Georgia (2 p.m. – Mac Nease Park), as well as at New Realm Brewing Co.’s Atlanta location in the Old Fourth Ward along the East Beltline Trail (550 Somerset Terrace NE, Unit 101) and at select retail locations throughout the Atlanta metro area.



“We’re grateful to New Realm for providing Yellow Jacket fans and beer lovers with another great-tasting, Georgia Tech-branded beer – Ale of an Engineer,” Georgia Tech director of athletics J Batt said. “We can’t wait for everyone to be able to enjoy Ale of an Engineer at Tech baseball and softball games this spring, at New Realm’s awesome location on the Beltline and at home!”



“We are thrilled with this partnership and continue to build on the foundation created with the launch of HELLUVIENA Lager in the fall of 2022. Ale of an Engineer is a refreshing golden ale and the perfect addition to the lineup as we head into the summer months,” said Carey Falcone, co-founder and CEO of New Realm Brewing. “With Georgia Tech being just minutes from our Atlanta craft brewery, distillery and scratch restaurant, we have thoroughly enjoyed being a gathering place for the Georgia Tech community more and more. We are looking forward to being on campus and becoming a part of Tech history.”



Ale of an Engineer is New Realm’s second custom, Georgia Tech-branded beer, joining HELLUVIENNA Lager, which made its debut to great acclaim last fall. Both beers pay homage to the Yellow Jackets’ iconic fight song.



“Our partnership with Georgia Tech has been even bigger than we might have thought,” said Mitch Steele, co-founder and brewmaster of New Realm Brewing. “The fan enthusiasm, community engagement is awesome to be a part of. Bring on baseball season, summertime and another football season – our beers are great all year long!”



Legends, which has managed corporate partnerships and multimedia rights for Georgia Tech athletics since 2021, facilitated the partnership with New Realm.



New Realm Brewing Co. and Georgia Tech athletics are dedicated to responsible drinking. Please enjoy responsibly.
