    The Saint Ignatius Boys Basketball program has a rich and storied tradition of excellence on the floor, including twenty Chicago Catholic League Championships, nine IHSA Regional Championships, two IHSA Sectional Championships, a 3rd Place finish in 2022, multiple regular season tournament championships, and over a dozen 20+ win seasons.

    The Saint Ignatius basketball program has been synonymous with on court success for almost a century. Our true success as a program, however, is not only measured by wins, losses, and championships. The Wolfpack basketball program is much bigger than basketball. We strive to make a positive, lasting impact on the lives of everyone we come into contact with. Emphasizing values such as faith, love, service, teamwork, integrity, discipline, and commitment have helped us inspire our student-athletes to truly be "men for others" both on and off the court. Our mission is to coach, teach, and inspire our student-athletes so they can earn and experience success in every phase of their lives.

    Saint Ignatius boys basketball is an IHSA Class 3A program that competes in the competitive Chicago Catholic League Blue Division. The Wolfpack play a very strong non-conference schedule that includes participating in the Loyola/New Trier Thanksgiving Tournament and the Jack Tosh Holiday Tournament at York High School.


    Matt Monroe took the reins of the Saint Ignatius College Prep Boys Basketball program in the 2016-17 season. During his time as head coach, the Wolfpack has earned two Chicago Catholic League White Division Championships, three IHSA Regional Championships, three IHSA Sweet 16 appearances, two IHSA Sectional Championships, and two IHSA super-Sectional Championships. The Wolfpack Boys Basketball team has advanced to the IHSA Final Four twice, finishing third in 2022 and fourth in 2023. Coach Monroe has been named an IBCA Coach of the Year in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

    When he’s not on the court, Coach Monroe is in the classroom teaching social studies. He’s also an executive board member with the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association.

    Team Motto: Our basketball program is bigger than basketball. While winning is a major goal of ours, what’s more important is that we strive to make a positive, lasting impact on the lives of everyone we come into contact with.
