The National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame is housed within the College Basketball Experience adjacent to T-Mobile Center downtown. The Hall honors the coaches and players who shaped the college game, with inductees voted in annually. Kansas City's selection as the Hall's home reflects the city's deep connection to college basketball — it has hosted the Big 12 Tournament and multiple NCAA Tournament rounds for decades.
The exhibits trace college basketball from its early 20th-century origins through the modern era, covering the landmark coaches (John Wooden, Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski), the game-changing players, and the great programs. Interactive elements let visitors test their basketball knowledge. It operates in conjunction with the College Basketball Experience and the combined admission covers both.
