Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox college basketball team
The Army Black Knights men's basketball team represents the United States Military Academy in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I college basketball. Army currently competes as a member of the Patriot League and plays its home games at Christl Arena in West Point, New York.
History
Bob Knight, the one-time winningest men's basketball coach in NCAA history, began his head coaching career at Army from 1965 to 1971 before moving on to Indiana. One of Knight's players at Army was Mike Krzyzewski, who later was head coach at Army before moving on to Duke and becoming the winningest men's basketball coach in NCAA Division I history.
Since its inception in 1903, Army retrospectively has been awarded two national championships, has made eight NIT appearances, has refused two NCAA tournament invitations, in 1944 and 1968, and has an overall 49.7% winning percentage. The Black Knights are one of only four original Division I teams in history to have never participated in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament and one of 35 eligible teams.[1][2] Army shares this distinction with William & Mary, The Citadel, and St. Francis Brooklyn. However, the Black Knights have played in the National Invitational Tournament eight times,[3] and were retroactively named national champions by Premo-Porretta for 1923 and by the Helms Athletic Foundation for 1944,[4] when they went undefeated (15–0),[5] but declined an invitation to the NCAA tournament due to World War II. The 1944 squad was captained by Edward C. Christl, who earned a posthumous Distinguished Service Cross during World War II and for whom the Black Knights' home arena is named.[6] The Black Knights played in the 2016 edition of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT), their first appearance in a postseason tournament in 38 years, losing to NJIT in the first round. The Black Knights did receive an NCAA Tournament invite in 1968, but head coach Bob Knight refused the bid, claiming they had a better chance to win the NIT. They would go on to lose their first game of the NIT to Notre Dame.[7]
Seasons
In 119 seasons, the Black Knights have a record of 1262–1276.[5]
