Lady Gators’ ACC/SEC Challenge opponent, date set

The Florida women’s basketball team will face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the inaugural edition of the ACC/SEC Challenge.

The Florida women’s basketball team will face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the inaugural edition of the ACC/SEC Challenge, which will be played on Wednesday, Nov. 29, at 5 p.m. EST. This will be the second time the two programs face off on the parquet in the history of the two schools.

The last and only time the Gators and Yellow Jackets faced off was back in 1986 on a neutral court in Birmingham, Alabama, for a regular-season tangle that Tech came out on top of, 82-72.

During the 2022-23 campaign, the Lady Gators were victorious in three of their four matchups with the ACC, dropping their game against the Florida State Seminoles while outlasting the Miami Hurricanes during the regular season before defeating both the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and Clemson Tigers in WNIT competition.

The ACC/SEC Challenge will take place from Nov. 29-30 and feature games across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ACC Network and SEC Network. Full coverage details, including platform designations and commentator information, will be announced later this fall.
