Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets play at McCamish Pavilion on the Atlanta campus, combining engineering excellence with ACC basketball. Under Damon Stoudamire, the Yellow Jackets aim to recapture the glory of the program's golden era. Georgia Tech's gold and white colors and location in a major metropolitan area attract recruits seeking both basketball and academic opportunity. The program emphasizes defensive tenacity and has produced numerous NBA players. The Yellow Jackets' rivalry with Georgia extends beyond the hardwood, with intrastate bragging rights always on the line.

Georgia Tech won the 1990 national championship under Bobby Cremins, with the Lethal Weapon 3 of Dennis Scott, Brian Oliver, and Kenny Anderson leading the way. The Yellow Jackets reached the 2004 national championship game under Paul Hewitt, falling to Connecticut. Mark Price, John Salley, and Chris Bosh are among the program's distinguished NBA alumni. The 1985 Final Four run and 1990 title established Georgia Tech as an ACC power. The program's rivalry with Georgia, Clean Old-Fashioned Hate, adds significance to every matchup between the in-state rivals.
