Correbasket UAT is a Mexican professional basketball team. It has been a member of the LNBP since the 2000 season.

History

The team was founded as Correcaminos UAT in 1995 as a founding member of the Conferencia de Básquetbol Profesional (CBP). They joined Circuito Mexicano de Básquetbol (CIMEBA) in 1997, and then the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional in 2000. It was the champion in 2002 and reached the league finals twice.

The team was renamed Correbasket UAT in 2016. Correbasket is owned by the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas. In 2017, it was profiled in an ESPN article, during which season it finished last in the league. However, forward Grandy Glaze led the league in rebounding.[1]

Gymnasium

Correbasket UAT plays their home games in the Multidisciplinario Stadium UAT, also known as "El Nido", which has a capacity for 3,500 people.[2]
