M.E.N.T. B.C., officially known as the Educational Union of Toumba Youth (Greek: Μορφωτική Ένωσις Νεολαίας Τούμπας, Morfotiki Enosis Neoleas Toumbas) or M.E.N.T. B.C., is a Greek professional basketball club that was founded in 1926. The team is located in Thessaloniki, Greece. M.E.N.T. B.C. currently competes in the third-tier level division of Greece, the Greek C League.

History[edit]

Originally, the club's parent athletic association included the sports of basketball, football, cycling, and also a literary and entertainment section. Today, there are departments only for the basketball club and the volleyball club. In 2004, M.E.N.T. B.C. finished in 2nd place in the Greek 2nd Division, and thus earned a league promotion, and then competed in the top-tier level Greek Basket League, in the following 2004–05 season.
