Basketball

The Buff and Lady Buff basketball teams play in the First United Bank Center, a 5,800 seat multi-purpose arena in Canyon, Texas. It was built in 2002. It is the home of the Buffaloes basketball teams. The traditional rival is Eastern New Mexico University, but newer rivalries with Midwestern State University and The University of Texas of the Permian Basin have emerged in recent years. A strong tradition of basketball exists at West Texas A&M, dating back to the days of Maurice Cheeks and even as far back as the 1930s and 1940s. The 1954–55 season saw the Buffs make the NCAA tournament, though they would lose to eventual national champion San Francisco University. In 2018–2019, WT became the first school in NCAA history to have both the men's and women's teams host a regional tournament.
