Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

From Hoopedia

Georgia Tech features a strong and popular basketball program. The team plays its home games in Alexander Memorial Coliseum.

However, under the tenure of Bobby Cremins Georgia Tech established itself as a national force in basketball. Bobby Cremins led his team to the first ACC tournament victory in school history in 1985 and in 1990 he took Georgia Tech to the school's first Final Four appearance ever. Cremins retired from Georgia Tech in 2000 with the school's best coaching win percentage.

Paul Hewitt is the current head for Georgia Tech. He helped to revitalize a stagnant program and Georgia Tech experienced a Cinderella Season in 2004, earning the school's second ever berth in a National Title Game in any sport. The 2003-2004 team won the Pre-Season NIT tournament, ended Duke's 41 game home-winning streak, and finished its season losing by only 9 points in the National Title game to UCONN.

Some notable and more recent Georgia Tech basketball players are Stephon Marbury, Kenny Anderson, Travis Best, Chris Bosh, Jarrett Jack, Mark Price, and John Salley.
