The 2024 Olympic Games are wrapping up, with Team USA securing gold medals in both men’s and women’s basketball.
Both victories came over the host country, France, with the men closing the door in the fourth quarter thanks to a vintage performance from Steph Curry and strong games from LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
On the women’s side, A’Ja Wilson had 21 and 13 to pace Team USA, while Kelsey Plum came off the bench to drop 12 points including four clutch free throws in the closing minutes for the United States.
Team USA was less successful in 3×3 hoops, with the Netherlands securing gold on the men’s side and Germany winning it for the women.
The gold medal winning squads had representatives from a total of 21 different Division 1 college basketball programs, including all players and current head coaches. Six of those 21 programs had two or more gold medal winners, and three of them had a trio of alumni take home gold.
Below is a look at every CBB program with a basketball gold medalist from 2024:
