The 2022–23 LIU Sharks men's basketball team represented Long Island University in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Sharks, led by first-year head coach Rod Strickland, played their home games at the Steinberg Wellness Center in Brooklyn, New York as members of the Northeast Conference (NEC).

Previous season

[edit]

The Sharks finished the 2021–22 season 16–14, 12–6 in NEC play, to finish in third place. As the No. 3 seed, they defeated No. 6 seed Sacred Heart in the quarterfinals of the NEC tournament,[1] before falling to No. 2 seed Wagner.[2]

On June 30, the school announced the firing of head coach Derek Kellogg, after 5 season at the helm.[3] They immediately named NBA G League Ignite program manager Rod Strickland as the Sharks' next head coach.[3]
