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.

The Challenge events will feature games across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ACC Network and SEC Network. Coverage details, including platform designations and commentator information, will be announced in the Fall.
