The game of basketball was devised by a man by the name of James Naismith. He developed the game while working for the YMCA training school in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1892.
The first intercollegiate game was played on February 9, 1895, by the Minnesota School of Agriculture and Hamline College with Minnesota winning 9-3.
College Basketball developed over time and on January 18, 1896, the first college basketball game was played with the current five-man format in Iowa City, Iowa. During the game, the University of Chicago defeated the University of Iowa by a score of 15 to 12. Yup that's it.
In 1906, the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (IAAUS) was created to govern the rules of eligibility for collegiate athletics. Four years later, the organization would change its name to become the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
