Ivy League basketball

Ivy League basketball refers to the men's and women's college basketball teams affiliated with the Ivy League, a group of eight prestigious universities in the northeastern U.S., known for academic excellence. These teams compete in the NCAA Division I, the top level of college basketball, with a focus on balanced athletic and academic commitments. While historically less dominant nationally than some major programs, Ivy League teams emphasize teamwork, strategy, and discipline. The league's championship winner earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, making it an important part of the college basketball landscape.
