American college basketball season March 2026 February 2023 Basketball 2009–10 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets logo.svg 125 Atlantic Coast Conference ACC 23–13 7–9 Paul Hewitt (10th season) Peter Zaharis John O'Connor Darryl LaBarrie Alexander Memorial Coliseum NCAA tournament Second Round The 2009–10 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball team represented Georgia Institute of Technology in the 2009–10 college basketball season. This was Paul Hewitt's tenth season as head coach. The Yellow Jackets compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference and played their home games at Alexander Memorial Coliseum. They finished the season 23–13, 7–9 in ACC play. They advanced to the championship game of the 2010 ACC men's basketball tournament as the 7 seed before losing to regular season champion Duke. They received an at–large bid to the 2010 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, earning a 10 seed in the Midwest Region. They upset 7 seed Oklahoma State in the first round before falling to 2 seed and AP #5 Ohio State in the second round. Pre-season On Thursday, September 24, it was announced that the Georgia Tech Men's basketball team had cancelled their trip to Canada, which was to take place the weekend of October 2–5, due to concerns over NCAA regulations. The Yellow Jackets were to depart October 2 for Windsor, Ontario to play two games against the 2009–10 University of Windsor Windsor Lancers Windsor Lancers Men's Basketball team and one against the 2009–10 University of Western Ontario Western Ontario Mustangs Western Ontario Mustangs Men's Basketball team. The issue revolved around NCAA rules prohibiting teams from taking trips within 30 days of the official start of pre-season practice. The trip did fall within Georgia Tech's fall break from classes. NCAA regulations allow teams to take an international trip once every four years, but the trip must occur before the 30-day period leading up to the official start of pre-season practice, which this year is October 16. Georgia Tech had asked for and received a waiver from the NCAA, but ultimately decided against taking the fall break trip amid concerns over the regulations.http://www.golancers.ca/news/2009/9/25/MBB_0925095002.aspx Men's Basketball University of Windsor Athletics and Recreation Georgia Tech cancels trip to Canada amid concerns over NCAA regulations 2009-10-06 Roster Name Number Pos.
