Latest news on Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Basketball, providing comprehensive coverage of Georgia Tech basketball scores, schedule, results, rankings, ACC standings, the ACC Tournament, the NCAA Tournament and March Madness, plus coach Scott Cross, McCamish Pavilion, recruiting, the transfer portal, NIL, injury news and NBA Draft prospects for GT in Atlanta.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, often shortened to GT or the Jackets, represent the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. They play at McCamish Pavilion, which reopened in 2012 on the site of Alexander Memorial Coliseum and holds around 8,600 fans. The programme has played since 1905-06, with Buzz the mascot and the Ramblin' Wreck as familiar symbols.

Scott Cross, appointed in 2026 after a successful spell at Troy, took over a programme in need of rebuilding in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The ACC is one of the most demanding leagues in college basketball, so every game, ranking and NCAA Tournament seed matters. Georgia Tech has had a succession of coaches since the Bobby Cremins era, and fans closely follow each new direction.

Modern college hoops brings challenges. NIL deals, revenue sharing after the House settlement, the transfer portal and the pursuit of top recruits now shape each roster, so off-season movement is closely watched. Georgia Tech must also compete for talent in a basketball-rich city and against well-funded ACC rivals, while balancing the university's demanding academic standards.

Basketball matters to the Georgia Tech community, from students packing the stands to alumni in the NBA. Chris Bosh, Stephon Marbury, Mark Price, Dennis Scott, Kenny Anderson, Jarrett Jack and Thaddeus Young all developed at Georgia Tech, while the women's Yellow Jackets add to the university's hoops culture. The Ramblin' Wreck tradition ties the sport to the wider campus identity.

The programme's golden years came under Bobby Cremins, whose 1990 team with Kenny Anderson and Dennis Scott reached the Final Four. Paul Hewitt led the Yellow Jackets to the 2004 national championship game, where UConn won. Georgia Tech won ACC Tournament titles in 1985, 1990, 1993 and 2021, and joined the ACC in 1979 after earlier years in the Southeastern Conference.
