THE FLATS – Georgia Tech women’s basketball is set for a road clash against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Thursday, Dec. 3 for the SEC/ACC Challenge, the leagues and ESPN revealed Friday.
2026 marks the fourth year of the SEC/ACC Challenge, where the Jackets look to even a 1-2 record in the event. Tech lost a hard-fought game on the road at Texas A&M in last year’s edition, 72-63.
The tilt also marks the eight meeting between the two and first since a 61-59 Alabama win in the 2018 WNIT. Tech will go for its first win over Alabama since March 26, 2017 (WNIT Semifinals) and first in Tuscaloosa, Ala. since Dec. 18, 2015. The SEC foe leads the all-time series, 5-2. The Crimson Tide finished 24-11 (7-9 SEC) last season and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
