† 2023 Big South tournament winner

The 2022–23 Longwood Lancers men's basketball team represents Longwood University in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Lancers, led by fifth-year head coach Griff Aldrich, play their home games at Willett Hall in Farmville, Virginia as members of the Big South Conference.

Previous season[edit]

The Lancers finished the 2021–22 season 26–6, 15–1 in Big South play to win the Big South regular season championship. They defeated North Carolina A&T,[1] USC Upstate,[2] and Winthrop to win the Big South tournament championship.[3] As a result, the Lancers received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, the school's first-ever trip to the tournament, where they received the No. 14 seed in the South Region, where they would lose in the first round to Tennessee.[4]
