The Violet women will be looking to improve upon a 2010-11 season in which they went 12-13 overall and 6-8 in the ultracompetitive University Athletic Association (UAA).
 
NYU returns one starter from last season's squad – Bianca Storts (9.1 ppg) – and will look to several of last year's key reserves, including Cara Bonito (3.2 apg), Tana Bertino (6.7 ppg), Alexis Doherty (3.8 rpg), Shelby Coon (5.0 rpg), Makenzie Hirz (3.8 rpg), and Erica Franke (2.3 rpg) – to take on bigger roles.
 
The Violet men went 16-11 overall in 2010-11 and 4-10 in the UAA. The squad reached the semifinals of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Metro Championship and recorded its 27th winning season in the last 28 years.
 
NYU returns four starters from last year's team – First Team All-UAA selection Andy Stein (17.3 ppg), Carl Yaffe (11.4 ppg), Kyle Stockmal (9.6 ppg), and Max Wein (4.1 rpg). Other key returners include Devin Karch, Ben Dorman, Cory Stockmal, and Ryan Tana.
