Pilot Championships

The Bethel College Pilots basketball program is one of the most successful NAIA Division II colleges in the country. Its brand of basketball is marked by passion, dedication, heart, and championship tradition. From the steamy years of Goodman Auditorium to the dominant performances in the Wiekamp Athletic Center, the Pilots, old and new, have mastered the art of net-cutting, ring-sizing, and banner-raising. With 3 NAIA national championships, 4 NCCAA titles, 9 conference crowns and 37 All-Americans Bethel Basketball is regarded as one of the premiere programs in NAIA Division II basketball.
