# 2022–23 Coppin State Eagles men's basketball team

The 2022–23 Coppin State Eagles men's basketball team represented Coppin State University in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Eagles, led by sixth-year head coach Juan Dixon, played their home games at the Physical Education Complex in Baltimore, Maryland as members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). They finished the season 9–23, 4–10 in MEAC play, to finish in a tie for sixth place. They lost to Norfolk State in the quarterfinals of the MEAC tournament.
On March 21, 2023, the school fired head coach Juan Dixon. On May 5, the school named Coppin State alum and Maryland Eastern Shore assistant coach Larry Stewart the team's new head coach.

## Previous season

The Eagles finished the 2021–22 season 9–22, 6–8 in MEAC play, to finish tied for sixth place. As the No. 7 seed, they upset No. 2 seed Howard and No. 3 seed North Carolina Central to clinch a spot in the MEAC tournament championship, their first such appearance since 2008. Unlike that prior title appearance, they were unable to win, losing to top-seeded Norfolk State.
