The 2022–23 Towson Tigers men's basketball team represented Towson University in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Tigers, led by 12th-year head coach Pat Skerry, played their home games at the SECU Arena in Towson, Maryland as members of the Colonial Athletic Association.

Previous season

[edit]

The Tigers finished the 2021–22 season 25–9, 15–3 in CAA play to finish as CAA regular season co-champions, alongside UNC Wilmington.[1] As the top seed in the CAA tournament, they defeated Northeastern in the quarterfinals,[2] before being upset by No. 5 seed and eventual tournament champions Delaware in the semifinals.[3] As a regular season conference champion who failed to win their conference tournament, the Tigers earned an automatic bid to the NIT, where they lost in the first round to Wake Forest.[4]
