Hey, I'm considering pursuing basketball at the college level and I was wondering—how many Division II basketball teams are there? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hey there! As of now, there are around 300 NCAA Division II men's basketball teams and around 300 NCAA Division II women's basketball teams across the United States. You can explore the NCAA's official website for more details on each team and their conferences.
Keep in mind that Division II basketball provides a great opportunity to balance your academics and athletics. A good opportunity to get noticed by college coaches is to participate in showcases and AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) tournaments, as well as attending college camps, as coaches often use them to scout potential players.
Good luck with your basketball journey, and remember to give equal importance to academics and basketball while pursuing your college dreams!
