Georgia Tech’s men’s basketball program is set to open the 2026‑27 campaign with a home clash against Hampton on November 3, marking the first of ten non‑conference contests slated for the Yellow Jackets’ McCamish Pavilion.
Schedule Highlights
The non‑conference slate blends familiar in‑state rivals with out‑of‑state tests, including matchups against Georgia Southern and Georgia, while also scheduling neutral‑site games in Nashville, Orlando and Indianapolis as part of the Butler Classic.
In addition to the home‑heavy lineup, the Jackets will venture on the road for a true test at Mississippi State in the SEC/ACC Challenge, rounding out a December schedule that also features a home finale against Longwood on December 22.
First‑year head coach Scott Cross, who arrived with a recruiting‑focused vision, will oversee a roster reshaped by 13 newcomers, among them returning letterwinners Kam Craft and Cole Kirouac, who provide continuity amid the turnover.
Cross’s debut also includes an exhibition outing on October 24 at Providence, giving the team a chance to fine‑tune before the regular season begins.
Looking Ahead
Fans can expect a blend of youthful energy and seasoned poise as the team integrates new talent, with the coaching staff emphasizing defensive intensity and ball movement.
Venue Overview
All home games will be played at the iconic McCamish Pavilion, while neutral‑site contests will take place at the Nashville arena of Murray State, the Orlando venue of the Florida Gators, and the Indianapolis arena hosting the Butler Classic, providing the Jackets with diverse environments as they build momentum.
