Johns Hopkins Blue Jays Basketball Tickets

Johns Hopkins University, located in Baltimore, Maryland, is known for its strong academics and prestigious medical school. But the university also has a rich history in athletics, particularly in basketball.

The Johns Hopkins Blue Jays men's basketball team competes in Division III of the NCAA and the Centennial Conference. Despite not being in Division I like some of the powerhouse programs, the Blue Jays have a storied history in college basketball.

The Blue Jays have made 28 appearances in the NCAA Division III Tournament, which is more than any other program in Division III. They have also won the Centennial Conference title seven times since joining the conference in 1994.

One of the most successful seasons in recent Blue Jays history came in 2018-19 when they finished with a record of 24-5 and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Division III Tournament. Led by senior guard Michael Gardner, who was named the Centennial Conference Player of the Year, the Blue Jays were one win away from reaching the Final Four.

But it's not just on the court where the Blue Jays excel. The program also places an emphasis on academics, as evidenced by the fact that Gardner was also named a CoSIDA Academic All-American. In addition, six Blue Jays were named to the Centennial Conference All-Academic Team in 2019-20.

While the Blue Jays may not be a household name in college basketball, their success and commitment to excellence on and off the court cannot go unnoticed. Whether it's making deep runs in the NCAA Tournament or producing top-notch student-athletes, Johns Hopkins basketball is a program worth following and rooting for.
