The Cal Poly Mustangs men's basketball team represents California Polytechnic State University, located in San Luis Obispo, California. The school's team currently competes in the Big West Conference. The Cal Poly men's basketball team's first season was 1907 and its first season as a four-year institution was 1941–42. The Mustangs are coached by John Smith and play their home games at Robert A. Mott Athletics Center.
The team began playing at the Division I level in 1994–95, and shortly thereafter won a regular-season conference title in the four-team American West Conference with a 5-1 record in 1996. The 1995-96 championship season saw Cal Poly's Ben Larson average 3.45 steals per game, the third-most in NCAA history, while winning the AWC Player of the Year award. The Mustangs then joined the Big West ahead of the 1996-97 school year.
Cal Poly advanced to its first Division I NCAA Tournament in 2014 after an historic run in the Big West Conference Tournament, becoming the first 7th seed to win the championship, as the Mustangs defeated CSUN, 61-59, following a go-ahead 3-pointer made by Ridge Shipley at the Honda Center.
