Program History

Begun in 1966, the Babson men's basketball program enjoyed immediate success, going 22-3 in just its third season. The team then re-emerged as a regional power in the mid-1980s, making three appearances in the ECAC Tournament between 1983 and 1987, before exploding onto the national scene in the early 1990s. During that decade, the Beavers recorded three conference championships, five 20-win seasons, and seven postseason berths, including NCAA Tournament appearances in 1992, 1995, and 1996. Babson also registered a 100-80 victory over Division I Harvard in 1991-1992, helping the Beavers reach a top-five national ranking for the first time in program history.

In 2000-2001, the Beavers once again rose to regional prominence by going 18-11, gaining an ECAC Tournament appearance and earning NEBCA Most Improved Team honors. Babson then re-established itself as a national power the following season, going 25-5 overall, advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in team history, and posting the nation's top-ranked defense. The following year, the Beavers went 26-4 to set a new program record for single-season wins while also claiming the team's first-ever ECAC New England Championship. The team's incredible run continued into the 2003-2004 season, which saw Babson go 22-8, win the NEWMAC Championship, and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
