The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Men’s Basketball team represents the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in NCAA Division I basketball.

The team plays its home games in McCamish Pavilion on the school’s Atlanta campus and is coached by Josh Pastner. Beneath the biography of Bobby Cremins, Georgia Tech established itself as a national force. Cremins directed his group into the first ACC championship victory in school history in 1985 and in 1990 he chose Georgia Tech to the college’s first Final Four appearance ever. Cremins retired from Georgia Tech in 2000 together with all the college’s best winning percentage for a head coach. The Yellow Jackets returned to the Final Four in 2004 under Paul Hewitt and lost in the national title game, losing to UConn. Overall, the team has won 1,352 games and lost 1,226 games, a .524 win percentage.
Georgia Tech’s first documented official involvement in basketball was in 1906, when a club arranged under Coach Chapman. They won just two of those three matches they played with that year. Next time Tech had a basketball team, it was under the famed coach John Heisman, also Tech’s baseball and soccer coach. Heisman had a winning percentage of .142 that year and improved the group’s percent to .500 in 1912 and 1913.
Since that time, Georgia Tech has invented a strong basketball program on the potency of trainers like John Hyder and Bobby Cremins, and such players since Roger Kaiser, Rich Yunkus, Mark Price, Craig”Noodles” Neal, John Salley, Tom Hammonds, and Matt Harpring. Georgia Tech became a charter member of the Southeastern Conference in 1932 (the primary season was in 1933) and won the conference title in 1938. Coach Hyder, whose teams won 292 games in twenty-two seasons, put the program on the national map when his 1955 team defeated Adolph Rupp’s Kentucky team, finishing the Wildcats’ 129-game winning streak at home.
