2022 Patriot League tournament winner

The 2021–22 Loyola Greyhounds men's basketball team represented Loyola University Maryland in the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Greyhounds, led by fourth-year head coach Tavaras Hardy, played their home games at Reitz Arena in Baltimore, Maryland as members of the Patriot League.

Previous season[edit]

The Greyhounds finished the 2020–21 season 6–11, 4–10 in Patriot League play to finish in last place in the South Division. As the #9 seed in the Patriot League tournament, they were scheduled to face Holy Cross in the first round, but a positive COVID-19 test within the Holy Cross program forced the Crusaders to forfeit the game, moving Loyola into the quarterfinals.[1] In the quarterfinals, the Greyhounds upset top-seeded Navy.[2] Their upset streak continued, upsetting #4 seed Army in the semifinals, advancing to the championship game.[3] Their Cinderella run in the Patriot League Tournament would end in the championship game, where they lost to #2 seeded Colgate.[4]
