Perspective
During the season, college teams played against non-collegiate opponents such as athletic clubs, high schools, and Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) teams as well as against other colleges and universities.
Conference play
The Western Conference (the future Big Ten Conference) was the only college basketball conference. It did not sponsor an official conference season or recognize a regular-season champion until the 1905–06 season, although a few intramural games between conference members took place during the 1900–01 season. Among conference members which played more than 10 games, Purdue (12–0) went undefeated, and Minnesota finished with a record of 11–1.[4]
Independents
A total of 41 college teams played as major independents during the 1900–01 season. Among independents that played more than 10 games, Bucknell (12–1) and Allegheny (14–2) posted the best records.[5]
