Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Basketball
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are not generally thought of as a major NCAA basketball team on the conference and national stage, but the team has actually made a surprising impact on the game at both the college and NBA level. While nowhere close to a constant presence in NCAA March Madness postseason tournaments, the Yellow Jackets have made 17 appearances overall, spread out quite evenly across the decades since the 1980s. The team has even been to the Sweet 16 on 7 occasions, the Elite 8 on 4, and the Final Four twice. The Yellow Jackets even came within one win of ultimate glory in 2004 when they made it to the NCAA Championship Final, only to fall to the mighty UConn Huskies by a score of 82-73. Through the years, Georgia Tech has also consistently produced top players who have gone on to star in the NBA, such as Mark Price, Dennis Scott, Chris Bosh, Kenny Anderson, Stephon Marbury, and John Salley. With the university’s dazzling new renovation of the McCamish Pavilion and hiring of Damon Stoudamire as head coach, hopes are high on campus that the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will finally solidify their place as a top basketball team in the years to come.
