† 2005 ACC tournament winner Rankings from AP Poll |
The 2004–05 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball team represented Georgia Institute of Technology as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference during the 2004–05 season. Led by fifth-year head coach Paul Hewitt, the Yellow Jackets had high expectations entering the season with numerous returning players from the previous season's NCAA Tournament runner-up team. They were ranked in the top 5 of preseason AP and Coaches' Polls, receiving first-place votes in both. The team struggled to a .500 record in ACC play, but looked strong in the ACC Tournament, and received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. Playing as No. 5 seed in the Midwest region, Georgia Tech beat George Washington before falling to No. 4 seed and eventual Final Four participant Louisville in the round of 32[1] to finish 20–12 overall (8–8 ACC).
