Savannah State University Coach Horace Broadnax has played the Georgetown University Hoyas in Tiger Arena (2009) and now has Atlantic Coast Conference power Georgia Tech on the Tigers home court in 2011. Georgia Tech's men's basketball team will travel to Savannah to play a game against Savannah State University at Tiger Arena during the 2011-12 season, according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Georgia Tech’s non-conference home basketball schedule this season will include games against in-state opponents Kennesaw State, Mercer, Georgia and Savannah State.
The Yellow Jackets, who went 23-13 last season and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament, will also host UNC-Charlotte, Charleston Southern, Albany, Niagara, Fordham, and UT-Chattanooga.
Copies of contracts between Georgia Tech and those schools were obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in response to an open-records request. Georgia Tech hasn’t released its schedule. This season (2010-11), SSU will travel to Atlanta to play Georgia Tech on December 11. In one of two pay-to-play games, Georgia Tech will pay Charleston Southern $70,000 to play on Nov. 12, in addition to a $12,000 travel stipend. The Yellow Jackets will pay UT-Chattanooga $35,000.
