# 2022–23 Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles men's basketball team

The 2022–23 Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles men's basketball team represented the University of Southern Indiana in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Screaming Eagles, led by third-year head coach Stan Gouard, played their home games at Screaming Eagles Arena in Evansville, Indiana as members of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC). They finished the season 16–17, 9–9 in OVC play, to finish in a tie for sixth place. As the No. 7 seed in the OVC tournament, they lost to SIU Edwardsville in the first round. The Screaming Eagles received an invitation to the College Basketball Invitational as the No. 15 seed. There they lost to San Jose State in the first round.
The season marked Southern Indiana's first year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Screaming Eagles are not eligible for the NCAA tournament until the 2026–27 season.

## Previous season

The Screaming Eagles finished the 2021–22 season 18–8, 12–6 in Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) play, to finish in second place in the East Division. They defeated Illinois–Springfield in the first round of the GLVC tournament, before falling to UMSL in the quarterfinals.
