I went to Villanova, a great basketball school. I’d suggest following the NCAA tournaments. Research those schools.
Also, I would not suggest choosing a school just for its basketball prowess. Get the best of both worlds. A school that will give you the basketball you need and want. But also will provide the major that you want.
If you choose a school that has the academics that you want, but might be out of your league when it comes to basketball, consider that you can always play extracurricularly. Some great basketball schools will give you the opportunity to play at a very high-level, even if you don’t make the team.
And good luck! My son went to a state school instead of a major university because of the opportunity to pitch baseball. He went on to be scouted by the majors.
I suggest that you not underestimate state schools. They are a whole lot cheaper, and surprisingly can give you what you want.
Cheering you on!

Hi Hernan,
Several colleges have renowned basketball programs, each offering unique advantages. Schools like Duke University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of Kentucky consistently produce top-tier basketball teams and have a rich history of success. Other notable options include the University of Kansas, the University of Michigan, and the University of Louisville.
Consider factors like coaching staff, facilities, team culture, academic offerings, and location when choosing a college for your basketball career. Additionally, attending games, researching each program's track record, and reaching out to current or former players for insights can help you make an informed decision.
Ultimately, choose a college that aligns with your athletic and academic goals, providing you with the best opportunity to thrive both on and off the court.

Hi Hernan!
The choice of a good college for a basketball career would largely depend on the opportunities for play, the level of competition, the quality of coaching, and the track record of the college in producing successful professional players. Here are some great NCAA Basketball programs:
Duke University
University of Kentucky
University of Kansas
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Michigan State University
University of Connecticut
Syracuse University
Villanova University
University of Arizona
University of Louisville
It's also important to note that the right college for a basketball career should also be a good fit academically and personally.
I hope this helps!
