The Georgia Tech basketball program received three votes in the USA Today Sports men’s basketball coaches poll. The three votes tied the Yellow Jackets with in-state rival Georgia for the 44th overall ranking in the nation.
Last season, the Yellow Jackets went 21-16 (8-10) last season in Josh Pastner’s first year as the head coach. Heading into the season, the Jackets were projected to win no conference games by media outlets. Of course, that didn’t happen as the Yellow Jackets went on to win eight conference games including three top-25 upsets.
The Jackets ended their season in the NIT Championship game losing to a scorching-hot TCU Horned Frog team.
