SERIES HISTORY
Sunday brings the 44th all-time clash between Georgia Tech and Georgia State. The Jackets have won each of the last 21 games in the series and hold a 32-11 series advantage.
Tech is 18-5 against the Panthers in games played on The Flats. Sunday's matchup is also the first series meeting in the Karen Blair Era.
INSIDE THE SCHEDULE
Karen Blair’s squad will never back down from a challenge, and the 2026-27 schedule is full of challenging opponents from top-to-bottom. The Jackets have 16 games (15 opponents) against teams that made the 2026 NCAA Tournament, tied for the most in the ACC (Notre Dame) and seventh-most among Power Four programs.
Tech faces six of those teams in the non-conference and eight inside McCamish Pavilion. Seven of Tech’s 2026-27 foes (Duke, Louisville, Princeton, West Virginia, Samford, TCU and Hofstra) either won their conferences tournament and/or regular season title and/or were the runner-up in the conference title game.
HOME COOKIN’
McCamish Pavilion was a difficult place for opponents last season, where Tech produced the second-best home FG defense in the ACC (34.7%) and the second-best home three-point defense (24.7%). The Jackets’ nine home games with at least 30 defensive boards were tied for the third-most in the country and Tech led the ACC with nine home games accruing at least 20 assists last season.
The Yellow Jackets are 159-69 (.697) all-time inside McCamish Pavilion and 96-13 (.881) against non-conference opponents. Against in-state foes at home, the Yellow Jackets are 53-12 since 1983-84, 40-5 since 2000-01, and 20-4 inside McCamish Pavilion.
THE 2026-27 YELLOW JACKETS
Tech returns seven from last season, four of its starting five and over 50 percent of both its minutes played and points scored. That number more than doubles from the returners Coach Blair had in her first season (2025-26), where Tech brought back just three from the previous season.
Talayah Walker, Inés Noguero, La’Nya Foster, Erica Moon, Ariadna Termis, Leyre Urdiain and Déborah Mukeba are back in White and Gold in 2026-27, more than doubling the returning production that Tech had going into 2025-26 (3 to 7). Urdiain and Mukeba will be making their debut in a Tech uniform this season.
In addition to Tech’s seven returners, Blair’s Yellow Jackets welcome seven newcomers to The Flats this season. Fifth-year Antonia Bates (G/F, Rutgers), senior Anna Conza (G, Oglethorpe), junior Kyndal Walker (G, Maryland), sophomores Sofia Muñoz (G, UAB), Penda Dieng (F, Xavier), Jordan Ode (G, Michigan State) and freshman Autumn Washington all join the Jackets.
