The Carleton Ravens men's basketball team represents Carleton University in the Ontario University Athletics conference of U Sports men's basketball. The Ravens have captured 17 W. P. McGee Trophy national championship wins, more than any top division school in Canada or the United States, and are the reigning national champions (2023). In addition, the Ravens have earned the Wilson Cup, awarded to the OUA champions, 12 times: 2003 to 2005, 2008 to 2010, 2012 to 2013, 2015, and 2018 to 2020.
On the same day in 2023 (March 12), both the men’s and women’s teams won the national title, something no school had accomplished since 1985, when the Victoria Vikes were double champions. The twin feat was also accomplished in the same province—Nova Scotia—though in different cities, as the men played in Halifax, the women, in Sydney. The men’s game on that day went to double overtime, a first for the title game. It set a record for number of points by any team in the finals (109), in a match that also saw the highest number of combined points scored (213).[citation needed]
The Ravens took part in 20 consecutive national championship tournaments from 2003 to 2023, but did not qualify for the 2024 tournament, and so were unable to defend their title.
