Follow the Jackets the entire week in China
Shanghai, China – The Georgia Tech men’s basketball team is getting the experience of a lifetime this week as the Yellow Jackets visit China and open their 2017-18 season against UCLA in the 2017 Pac-12 China Game presented by the Alibaba Group.
The 2017 Pac-12 China Game between UCLA and Georgia Tech will tip off the 2017-18 basketball season and be broadcast live on ESPN at 11:30 p.m. Friday night, Nov. 10. The game is part of Pac-12 Global, an unprecedented effort to promote goodwill for the Conference and its member institutions through sport, and to provide student-athletes with a transformative cultural exchange experience.
Georgia Tech began to wind down its educational and cultural activities Thursday on its second full day in Shanghai, getting a chance to sleep in a little. The Yellow Jackets got their first look at Baoshan Arena, site of Saturday’s game (Friday night in the U.S.) with a two-hour practice. In the evening just after dusk, both teams and officials were treated to a cruise on the Huangpu River.
