Kentucky Basketball will face a member of the John Calipari coaching tree this upcoming season in Rupp Arena as the Kentucky Wildcats recently announced they are hosting the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets with a return trip to Atlanta scheduled for 2021. Tech’s coach, Josh Pastner, served as an assistant under Calipari during part of his tenure with the Memphis Tigers and was even promoted to head coach following the now-Kentucky coach’s departure.
Of course, GT is probably viewed as a nobody opponent in the eyes of many Kentucky fans; and while, for the most part, they’re right, Georgia Tech is a member of the ACC and certainly brings more to the table (or court) than a handful of lowly mid-majors the Cats will face this fall.
