Per Gobearcats:

The University of Cincinnati men's basketball program has announced a home-and-home series with Georgia Tech. The first installment will be Wednesday, Nov. 22 in Fifth Third Arena, with the 2024-25 return in Atlanta at a date to be determined.

UC leads the all-time series 8-3, with the last meeting an 87-70 win in the 1996 Sweet 16. Both teams were also Metro Conference rivals from 1975-78. Cincinnati went 2-0 against the ACC last season, defeating Louisville in Maui and Virginia Tech at home in the NIT.

The Bearcats and Yellow Jackets are also the nightcap of a volleyball doubleheader against Kansas (1 p.m.).

Georgia Tech is coming off a 15-18 season in which they finished 13th in the Atlantic Coach Conference but are looking to rebound with the hire of former NBA star, Damon Stoudamire.
