1992-93 Men's Basketball Sweet Sixteen Team

Induction:
2022

Behind the remarkable exploits of Sports Illustrated Freshman of the Year Yinka Dare, the 1992-93 GW men's basketball team nearly shocked the world in an NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen game against Michigan's famed Fab Five. The run to the second weekend of the tournament marks the furthest the program has ever advanced in the Big Dance and brought national acclaim to Foggy Bottom. Just four seasons prior, GW endured a 1-27 campaign. The Buff and Blue opened the Big Dance with an upset win against No. 5 New Mexico, 82–68, with freshman guard Kwame Evans coming off the bench to sink a team-high 19 points, while Dare notched his typical double-double. With a final record of 21-9, Dare, Dirkk Surles, Sonni Holland and company will forever be GW icons.
