Georgia Tech to travel to Oklahoma for SEC-ACC Challenge

THE FLATS – Georgia Tech men’s basketball will visit Oklahoma in the second ACC/SEC Men’s Challenge, with the game taking place Tuesday, Dec. 3, at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Okla. The ACC/SEC Men’s Challenge will take place over back-to-back days Tuesday, Dec. 3 and Wednesday, Dec. 4.
