Contents

UMBC made its first Division I postseason appearance in the NCAA tournament in 2008, for which it qualified by winning the America East tournament. [4] The Retrievers have appeared three times in the NCAA tournament, most recently in 2026.

The Retrievers are best known for when they qualified for their second NCAA tournament appearance in 2018 by beating the Vermont Catamounts in the America East tournament final and became the first No. 16 seed to defeat a No. 1 seed in the NCAA men's tournament, beating No. 1-seeded Virginia 74–54. [5] [6] The win has been dubbed the greatest upset in college basketball history. [7] [8] [9]

History

The UMBC men's basketball program began play for the 1967-68 season, finishing with a 4-7 record under head coach Joe Phillip. [10] The Retrievers joined NCAA Division I for the 1986-87 season, competing as an independent. [11] In 1990, UMBC joined the East Coast Conference, later joining the Big South Conference in 1992, Northeast Conference in 1998, and America East Conference in 2003.

Under the leadership of head coach Randy Monroe, the Retrievers went 24-9 and made their first NCAA tournament appearance in 2008, defeating Hartford in the America East championship. At the 2008 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, UMBC lost to Georgetown 66-47 in the First Round. [12] [13]

In 2018, UMBC returned to the NCAA tournament under head coach Ryan Odom after defeating Vermont 65-62 in the America East championship. [14] In the 2018 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, the Retrievers achieved a historic upset win over #1 seeded Virginia 74-54. [15] With the win, UMBC became the first #16 seed to ever defeat a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. [16] In the second round they would lose to #9 seed Kansas State 50-43. [17]

After an eight year absence, the Retrievers returned to the NCAA tournament led by Jim Ferry in 2026 after earning a 24-8 record and defeating Vermont 74-59 in the America East championship game. [18] UMBC's DJ Armstrong scored 33 points including seven three-pointers to lead the Retrievers back to March Madness. [19]
