Georgia Tech will play Wake Forest in a second-round game Thursday at the ACC Tournament. The Yellow Jackets are the No. 6 seed in Greensboro, N.C.

The 11th-seeded Demon Deacons, who defeated Virginia 61-53 on Wednesday, would appear a palatable opponent for the Jackets. Tech swept Wake Forest this season, winning 62-45 at McCamish Pavilion in December and 64-56 in Winston-Salem, N.C., on Sunday in both teams’ final regular-season game.

The game is scheduled for 8 p.m. and will be broadcast on regional sports networks, including Bally Sports South in the Atlanta TV market.

With a win, Tech would advance to a quarterfinal matchup with Notre Dame at 8 p.m. Friday. In the teams’ only meeting this season, the Fighting Irish prevailed 72-66 in overtime Feb. 17 at McCamish.
