The school men basketball team is known as the Braves. The team is currently coached by Jim Les.
The team has had eight appearances in the NCAA Tournament , reaching the Final Four twice in 1950 and 1954.
With the MVC, the Braves have won two post season conference title in 1980 and 1988 and five regular season titles.
Their most recent accomplishment in the tournament was in 2006 when they made it to the Sweet 16, their first time in 50 years.
With a poor start during the 2007-08 season, the team managed to get into the CBI; once there they defeated Virginia, Ohio, Cincinnati, but Tulsa stopped them on the way.
For the 2008-09 season, Coach Jim Les comes with a stronger and more talented team, aiming for the top position on the postseason tournament.
