The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) is an organization that oversees college sports in the United States, including college basketball. It is divided into three divisions, with Division I being the highest division. NCAA teams are primarily made up of student-athletes who receive scholarships and play basketball full-time.

The leading NCAA teams in college basketball belong to Division I, which comprises over 350 teams in 32 conferences. Some of the most popular and successful Division I teams are Duke University, University of Kentucky, University of Kansas, University of Michigan, UCLA and Gonzaga University.

March Madness is an NCAA national single-elimination tournament held every March and watched by millions across the USA. The top 68 teams in Division I are selected to compete in March Madness, which takes place over three weeks and culminates in the national finals, which determine the national college basketball champion .

The NCAA in college basketball is often seen as a stepping stone to the NBA (National Basketball Association). The vast majority of NBA players have played for NCAA teams, including Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry. However, some players came to the NBA directly from high school, as in the case of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. NBA teams often recruit players from the NCAA during the draft, which is an annual event where teams select the best college and international basketball players to join their team.
