Men's Basketball

Men's Basketball Program Overview

The men's basketball team competes at the NJCAA Division II level. The Cougars are also part of Region III and the Western New York Athletic Conference. The team has a strong history of success as the Cougars have won eight conference, two regional and two district titles. The team turned in back to back appearances at the national tournament in 2002 and 2003. Many players have gone on to play at the NCAA and NAIA Division I and Division II levels.

The Genesee Community College Men's Basketball team returned to the national spotlight in the 2008-2009 season, starting off the year a perfect 11-0, which ranked them third in the NJCAA national poll. A key injury to All-American and 1st Team All-region point guard Curtis Jackson (Brooklyn, NY) cost the Cougars a chance at a regional championship. Despite the injuries, the Cougars finished 21-8 and are looking forward to a great season in 2009-2010.
