College Basketball

College basketball refers to the basketball played at the collegiate level in the United States and Canada, where teams represent their respective colleges and universities. It is governed by organizations such as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the U.S., which coordinates competitions and championships. College basketball includes various divisions and conferences, allowing for a wide range of competition among institutions of different sizes and athletic capabilities. The sport is popular among students and alumni, often culminating in high-stakes tournaments, most notably the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments, commonly referred to as “March Madness.” These tournaments showcase the athletic talent of student-athletes and often lead to increased visibility and recruitment for players aspiring to play professionally.
