About Yale Basketball

Yale men’s basketball is one of the sport’s pioneering programs, with roots dating to the 1890s, and the Bulldogs compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Ivy League. In the modern era, Yale has delivered memorable March moments, including its first NCAA Tournament win in program history in 2016 (a First Round upset of Baylor) and another headline-grabbing First Round upset in 2024 as a No. 13 seed over No. 4 seed Auburn. Notable program figures include head coach James Jones, early Yale star Tony Lavelli, NBA veteran Chris Dudley, Ivy League Player of the Year Miye Oni, and Yale’s all-time leading scorer Butch Graves (Earl Graves Jr.).

On campus in New Haven, Connecticut, the Bulldogs play at John J. Lee Amphitheater (inside the Payne Whitney Gymnasium). With a capacity of approximately 2,800, the compact amphitheater seating keeps you close to the court and helps create a loud, energetic feel—especially when the stakes rise in conference play.
