The Instituto Viver Basquetebol, commonly known simply as Lobos Brasília, was a Brazilian professional basketball club, based in Brasília, Federal District. The team was founded in 2000, and renamed in 2009, been originally related to Salgado de Oliveira University (UNIVERSO). Between 2010 and 2017 was associated with Centro Universitário de Brasília (UniCEUB) and named UniCEUB/BRB/Brasília. Their gyms are Nilson Nelson and ASCEB (minor games). In 2017, the team was dissolved.
The lack of soccer tradition in Brasília contributed to the basketball team of UniCEUB/BRB being adopted as a local passion. The results inside the basketball court also favored the club consolidation, especially the third consecutive championship of Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB) won in 2011–2012 season, that led the team to reach the mark of four national titles in six consecutive finals.
In addition, UniCEUB/BRB was the first Brazilian team to have won the FIBA Americas League, the most important club tournament of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) in the continent. In 2008–09 season the team won the title by defeating the Mexican Halcones Xalapa in their home.
