Every year, more and more Canadian hoopers make the trip down south to play with the world’s best at the NCAA Basketball Division 1 level. This year marks a new record of 155.

Canadian basketball has made its imprint all over the world. From the NBA, where Jamal Murray, RJ Barrett, and Brandon Clarke look to make a substantial name for themselves, to internationally, where Canadians can be found representing their home country all across the world. However, no basketball league has quite the Canadian representation quite like Division 1 NCAA Basketball.

Last year, after setting a new record with 144 Canadians playing NCAA D1 ball, the country has outdone themselves. This time around, a record 155 Canadians are listed on rosters across the country, split amongst 122 schools.

These athletes range from senior superstars to freshman phenoms, role players off the bench or redshirts and transfers. Despite their varying roles, skills, and hometowns, they all have one thing in common. They represent Canada at the highest level a college-aged athlete can achieve.

Similar to last year, Busting Brackets has created a list sorted by conference, highlighting all of the players from Canada, their team, and their hometown. Every slide we will also be highlighting a player to watch for this upcoming season.
