# 2022–23 Longwood Lancers men's basketball team

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

## Previous season

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, USC Upstate and Winthrop to win the Big South tournament championship.
