Georgia Tech Basketball vs Penn State: Start time, where to watch and listen, betting odds

Can Georgia Tech defeat Penn State in Madison Square Garden?

Georgia Tech Basketball is back in action today and they are going to be playing at Madison Square Garden against Penn State. 

The Yellow Jackets have won three of their past four games, but have not played since last Saturday's blowout win over Alabama A&M. 

Penn State (5-5) also has had a week off after its 83-80 Big Ten Conference victory at home over Ohio State last Saturday, which snapped a five-game losing streak. The Nittany Lions started their season with four straight wins, then lost three times in the ESPN Events Invitational and its Big Ten opener against Maryland.

Tech is playing a game at Madison Square Garden for the first time since 2017 post-season National Invitation Tournament, in which the Yellow Jackets knocked Cal Bakersfield in the semifinals and lost to TCU in the championship game. The Yellow Jackets are 18-8 all-time in the arena.

Penn State has won three of four games in the series with Georgia Tech, which began in 1998 with the Nittany Lions capturing a 75-70 victory over the Jackets in Atlanta in the third round of the National Invitation Tournament, preventing Tech from advancing to the final rounds at Madison Square Garden.

The most recent three meetings were all part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Tech and Penn State split two meetings in Atlanta, winning 77-73 in 2006 and dropping an 85-83 game in 2008.
