# 2023–24 Wofford Terriers men's basketball team

The 2023–24 Wofford Terriers men's basketball team represented Wofford College during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Terriers, led by first-year head coach Dwight Perry, played their home games at Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium in Spartanburg, South Carolina as a member of the Southern Conference.

## Previous season

The Terriers finished the 2022–23 season 17–16, 8–10 in SoCon play to finish in a tie for fifth place. As the #6 seed, they upset #3 seed UNC Greensboro in the quarterfinals of the SoCon tournament, before falling to #7 seed Chattanooga in the semifinals.
On December 30, 2022, head coach Jay McAuley resigned after four years at the helm, after being on a leave of absence since December 5, with assistant coach Dwight Perry serving as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season. On March 21, 2023, the school removed the interim tag and made Perry the permanent head coach.
