The collection is composed of five boxes of programs, media guides, news reports, schedules, rosters, ephemera and other material related to the men's basketball team of William & Mary. There is also a folder of material pertaining to youth basketball camps held at the college in the 1980s and 1990s.

The William & Mary has been represented in intercollegiate men's basketball competition since the first decade of the 20th century. Over the course of its long history, the men's basketball team has competed in three athletic conferences, including the Colonial Athletic Association which the college has been a member of since 1982. The team has won three conference titles in the CAA. The men's basketball team is yet to make an appearance in the NCAA tournament, making it one of only five original Division 1 NCAA teams in history to have never participated in that tournament. Several former William and Mary players have gone on to play basketball professionally in Europe, Australia and minor leagues in the United States.
