John Calipari expects tough battle, learning experience against Georgia Tech

On Saturday evening, Kentucky will host its first name-brand program since their season-opener against Michigan State when the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets head to Rupp Arena.

Sitting at 4-3 on the year, Georgia Tech has had an up-and-down start to the season, taking home victories against the likes of NC State and Nebraska, but losses to Georgia, Arkansas, and Syracuse.

No matter the record, Kentucky head coach John Calipari knows the Yellow Jackets – coached by his former Memphis assistant Josh Pastner – are a talented bunch.

“Their team will shoot 3’s, but they also run great offense,” Calipari said of Georgia Tech.
