Every Australian in NCAAM basketball in 2025-26

• National champion Alex Condon withdrew from the 2025 NBA Draft to return to the Florida Gators
• More than 10 Australian men's basketball players will compete in the Senior years in 2025-26
• Every Australian in the NCAA Women's basketball in 2025-26

Scores of Australian best young men's basketballers are preparing for the 2025-26 NCAA season in the United States starting later this year including national champion Alex Condon at the Florida Gators.

This is an ever expanding list of every player enrolled at a US college, including their educational year heading into 2025-26. This list also includes the Senior Class from 2024-25. Seniors have completed their four-year eligibility but some players can compete as 5th year year seniors.

As we learn more about their status for next season, we will update this list. We have made the assumption that each player is remaining at their existing school unless they have entered the Transfer Portal. If you know a player that isn't on our list or is going into their Freshman year, please email info@basketball.com.au and we'll update the list.

Here is the list by School in alphabetical order heading into next season:

How US College basketball works

Eligibility: A senior is typically in their last year of NCAA eligibility unless they have redshirted (sat out a season for medical or developmental reasons) or received an extra year of eligibility due to exceptional circumstances (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic).

Role and Experience: Seniors are often seen as experienced leaders on their teams. They’ve had the most time to develop their skills, understand the team's system, and gain game experience. Many seniors are captains or key contributors both on and off the court.

Performance Pressure: For seniors, it’s often their final opportunity to make a lasting impact in college basketball. Many use their senior year to boost their statistics and showcase their skills to professional scouts.

Transition Period: Seniors are in a transitional phase, as they typically move on to pursue professional basketball (e.g., NBA, WNBA, overseas leagues) or focus on other career paths after the season ends.

Ceremonial Importance: Most college basketball programs hold a Senior Night during the final home game of the season. This is a chance to honour seniors for their contributions to the team over their collegiate careers. Being a senior in college basketball often symbolises the peak of a player’s college journey, both athletically and academically. It’s a pivotal year that can influence their future in basketball or other pursuits.
