Georgia Tech making a basketball ncaa championship game is maybe the most random sports thing ever. Even more than Butler

They took the “Navy football approach” to preseason practice. Zero contact. No 5 on 5 drills.
How can you expect to compete like that?

If anything GT basketball should be a premier brand. A great coach could win a national title there with nothing but Atlanta talent.

Maybe we can rule 20 or 30 blocks of Atlanta.

They were part of the ACC's basketball royalty when Bobby Cremins was there.

quote:


Bobby Cremins

The 1985 team, led by head coach Bobby Cremins and players Mark Price, Duane Ferrell, Yvon Joseph, Craig Neal, Bruce Dalrymple, and John Salley, won the school's first ACC championship and advanced to the final eight in the NCAA tournament. In the 1990 tournament, the trio of Kenny Anderson, Dennis Scott, & Brian Oliver (nicknamed "Lethal Weapon 3") carried the Yellow Jackets all the way to the Final Four, where they lost to eventual champion UNLV in the national semi-finals. In 1992, Cremins led an inexperienced Tech team to the Sweet 16, thanks in no small part to James Forrest's buzzer-beating game-winning 3-pointer in the second round against USC. The following year, the Yellow Jackets won the ACC Tournament.

Georgia Tech's nine consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament from the mid-1980s and the early 1990s accounted for the nation's fourth-longest active streak before it ended in 1994. In 1996, the team finished first in the ACC's regular season and returned to the tournament behind future NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury. Cremins's 19-year tenure (1981–2000) stands as the team's most successful era. Cremins is Georgia Tech's all-time winningest coach and is third among all ACC coaches. Upon his retirement after the 1999–2000 season, his teams had won 354 games and lost 237 for a .599 winning percentage (Cremins would later come out of retirement to coach at the College of Charleston). The floor at Alexander Memorial Coliseum is named "Cremins Court" in his honor. ...

You cut off the graph without including the year before Clemins

4-23
261 out of 263 teams in points scored per game
#1 strength of schedule

I did get to see (maybe not all that year but in the 3 I was there) Jordan, Worthy, Perkins, Sampson, Jeff Lamp, Rick Carlisle, Larry Nance and 2 6'10" guys he played with (just missed Horace & Harvey Grant), Frank Johnson at Wake, just missed Len Bias, and most of the NC St champs a couple years before they won. Duke actually wasn't that good at the time either.
