THE FLATS – A new chapter in Georgia Tech basketball has started under new head coach Damon Stoudamire, and every Yellow Jackets game will be marked not only by a new and exciting brand of basketball, but every night will be marked by thrilling promotional events geared toward fans and students alike.
The fun begins Nov. 28 as Georgia Tech has declared its ACC/SEC Challenge game against Mississippi State (7 p.m.) to be a Gold Out game.

Major theme nights include Coaching for Literacy (Virginia on Jan. 20), Suits and Sneakers night for Coaches vs. Cancer (Pitt on Jan. 23) and Honoring Black Excellence at the Wake Forest game on Feb. 6.
