The team plays in the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB) under the sponsorship name Decisão Engenharia/Minas. It also plays in the BCL Americas as of the 2021–22 season.[2]

The team has won one continental title, by winning the South American Champions Cup in 2007.

History[]

Minas was one of the top teams in the first years of Novo Basquete Brasil, reaching the semifinal series two straight years. In both semifinals, the team, led by the center Murilo Becker and the point guard , was defeated by Brasília. In the 2009–10 NBB season, Minas showed the point guard Raul Togni Neto, better known as Raulzinho. Neto was chosen the NBB Revelation Player and then moved to the Spanish team . In the 2011–12 NBB season, Minas made a very bad campaign, finishing in thirteenth place and getting out of the playoffs. For the following season the managers made a great renovation of the cast, hiring young players.
