Find the colleges and universities that have the biggest impact in basketball based on the influence of their alumni in basketball. See which schools have proven histories of attracting and cultivating some of the most influential athletes today.

The best colleges and universities for basketball are exactly the schools you’d expect to see on this list—a who’s who of storied college athletics programs, legendary coaches, and Hall of Fame players. Our list of the best basketball colleges includes programs famous for winning national titles and sending superstar players to the NBA. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill boasts not just the most influential basketball program in the world, but the most influential college athletics program in any sport. Credit this title to the massive influence of Michael Jordan, whose global visibility, fame and commercial impact as an NBA player both expanded the international reach of basketball and transcended the sport itself. UNC can also credit future Hall of Fame player Vince Carter and long-time college and professional coach Larry Brown for their landmark contributions to the NBA and the game as a whole. Other programs rounding out the top 10 include March Madness perennials such as Duke, University of Kentucky, and UCLA.
