Georgia Tech is the answer to a Kentucky basketball trivia question.
Entering Saturday’s matchup at Rupp Arena, Kentucky has a 56-15 overall lead in the series. It’s the first time the two teams have met since the Yellow Jackets won 86-84 against Tayshaun Prince and Keith Bogans in 2000.
Once upon a time, Georgia Tech and Kentucky faced one another every year. The Ramblin’ Wreck of Georgia Tech were founding members of the SEC. A dispute between Bobby Dodd and the SEC office was the catalyst to Tech’s departure from the conference in 1964. Before they made the move, Tech’s football and basketball programs had their fair share of success.
