The school men’s basketball program is known as the Big Red and the team has only achieved one title conference in 1988.
Despite the fact, basketball has not been one of the strongest athletic program the team managed to be part of the 16 Sweet group back in 1954.
The team plays its home basketball games at the Newman Arena and the current team’s Head Coach is Steve Donahue.
The Big Reds are part of the Ivy League in the NCAA Division I-AA.
