The 1905–06 Nashville Garnet and Blue men's basketball team represented University of Nashville during the 1905–06 college basketball season. The team posted a 9–0 record and claimed a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship.[1]

Basketball was invented by James Naismith in 1891. It seemed to take off in the South in 1906, when Yale's basketball team traveled throughout the South.[2]
