Georgia Tech's ACC/SEC Challenge Opponent Revealed

The ACC/SEC Challenge will begin in late November

Georgia Tech Basketball now knows its opponent for the ACC/SEC challenge that will take place this November. 

The Yellow Jackets are going to play host to Mississippi State on November 28th at 7 p.m. This is going to be the first meeting between the two schools since 1975. This is going to be a nice early test for new head coach Damon Stoudamire. The Bulldogs were 21-13 last season and lost in the first four of the NCAA Tournament to Pitt. 

The ACC/SEC Challenge replaces the former ACC/Big Ten Challenge, which spanned 1999 through 2022. Tech compiled a 9-13 record in that event (Per Georgia Tech PR).

Tech, a member of the Southeastern Conference from 1933-64, and Mississippi State have not faced each other since December 19, 1975 after meeting 29 times between 1922-75. The Yellow Jackets, coming off a 15-18 season in 2022-23, own a 16-13 advantage in the all-time series, including a 6-5 mark in home games and a 12-7 edge in games as conference foes. The Bulldogs posted a 21-13 overall record last season (Per Georgia Tech PR).

Not only is it going to be an early test for Stoudamire, but for the new roster. 

While the Yellow Jackets do bring back guys like Lance Terry, Miles Kelly, Kyle Sturdivant, and Deebo Coleman, they bring in the 17th-ranked recruiting class (247Sports), and that included two of the ACC's top transfers (Kowacie Reeves and Amaree Abram). Getting an early win here would give the Yellow Jackets early momentum.
