Men's collegiate basketball season

The 1964–65 NCAA University Division men's basketball season began in December 1964, progressed through the regular season and conference tournaments, and concluded with the 1965 NCAA University Division basketball tournament championship game on March 20, 1965, at Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Oregon. The UCLA Bruins won their second NCAA national championship with a 91–80 victory over the Michigan Wolverines.

The Associated Press (AP) Poll introduced a preseason Top 20, but during the season continued to rank only the Top 10 teams, as it had done since the 1961–62 season.^[2]
The NCAA tournament contracted from 25 to 23 teams.
The National Invitation Tournament expanded from 12 to 14 teams.
UCLA won its second consecutive national championship, as well as its second overall.
Bill Bradley of Princeton became the first player to score 50 or more points in an NCAA tournament Final Four game, scoring 58 against Wichita State in the national third-place game on March 20, 1965.^[3]
