The George Washington University men's basketball program has a proud history competing at the NCAA Division I level within the Atlantic 10 Conference, frequently capturing conference regular-season titles, tournament championships, and making appearances in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT)—which they famously won in 2016—alongside multiple berths in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. However, the program has not captured an overarching NCAA Division I national championship trophy, continuing to strive annually for deep postseason tournament runs.
