1950–51 NCAA men's basketball season

The 1950–51 NCAA men's basketball season began in December 1950, progressed through the regular season and conference tournaments, and concluded with the 1951 NCAA basketball tournament championship game on March 27, 1951, at Williams Arena in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Kentucky Wildcats won their third NCAA national championship with a 68–58 victory over the Kansas State Wildcats.

Season headlines

  • During January and February 1951, the CCNY point-shaving scandal is revealed. Over the next few months, it results in the arrests of 32 players from seven schools for point shaving in 86 games between 1947 and 1950.[1]
  • The NCAA tournament expanded for the first time, from eight to 16 teams.
  • Conference champions qualified automatically for the NCAA tournament for the first time.[2]
