The Georgia State men’s basketball team is traveling up Interstate-75/85 North to play Georgia Tech in a exhibition match to raise proceeds in the relief of hurricanes that struck this year.

“We look forward to playing Georgia Tech and partnering on such a worthy cause,” said Georgia State coach Ron Hunter. “This is about a lot more than basketball. This is about helping those who were effected by three devastating storms. Our guys are looking forward to getting out on the court.”

The game was not included in Georgia State’s official schedule release earlier this year. Just 10 day ago did the NCAA grant the schools the waiver to play the game made for a relief effort.
