The 2024–25 Charleston Southern Buccaneers men's basketball team represents Charleston Southern University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Buccaneers, led by head coach Saah Nimley in his first full season, play their home games at the Buccaneer Field House in North Charleston, South Carolina as members of the Big South Conference.

Previous season

[edit]

The Buccaneers finished the 2023–24 season 10–20, 6–10 in Big South play to finish in a three-way tie for fifth place.[1] They were defeated by UNC Asheville in the quarterfinals of the Big South tournament.[2]

Just seven games into the season, head coach Barclay Radebaugh announced that he would be stepping down, ending his 19-year tenure with the team, with associate head coach Saah Nimley serving as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.[3] On March 4, 2024, the school announced that they would be removing the interim tag, and naming Nimley the new head coach.[4]
