The Columbia Lions basketball team is the basketball team that represents Columbia University in New York City. The school's team currently competes in the Ivy League. The team's last appearance in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament was in 1968. The Lions are led by head coach Kevin Hovde. Their home games are held in the Levien Gymnasium.
Columbia began varsity intercollegiate competition in men's basketball in 1901. The Lions have been retroactively designated as national champions for five seasons during the pre-NCAA tournament era, though these claims are not recognized as official titles by the NCAA in the contemporary sense. The Premo-Porretta Power Poll rated Columbia the highest in 1904 and 1905, and the Helms Athletic Foundation listed Columbia as champions for 1904, 1905, and 1910. While the selections from both the Premo-Porretta Power Poll and the Helms Athletic Foundation are unofficial, the Helms champions are listed in the Official NCAA Men's Basketball Records Book for historical reference.
