The Daemen College Wildcats compete in NCAA Division II as part of the East Coast Conference (ECC). Based in Amherst, New York, the Wildcats play most of their home games at Lumsden Gymnasium on Daemen’s campus, a venue known for its energetic mid-major atmosphere and supportive student section. The 2024-25 season set program records with a 28-1 overall record, ECC Regular Season and ECC Championship titles, and a top-5 national ranking for multiple weeks. In 2025-26, Daemen continues to build on that legacy with a challenging schedule that includes 29 regular-season games, 15 at Lumsden Gymnasium, and high-profile non-conference play, including the Small College Basketball Hall of Fame Classic in Lakeland, FL. The Wildcats also host and participate in notable ECC events, further elevating their reputation in the region and beyond.
