List Of NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Career Games Played Leaders
In the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the statistic for total games played in Division I men's basketball helps opposing coaches to monitor the extent that a particular player is used on a team.

All that is required is that he is one of the five players for a team on the court for a minimal time of one second according to the game clock. As of the end of the 2021–22 season, the all-time leader in games played is Jordan Bohannon, who played six seasons at Iowa and appeared in 179 games.
