# 2024–25 Queens Royals men's basketball team

The 2024–25 Queens Royals men's basketball team represents the Queens University of Charlotte during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Royals, led by third-year head coach Grant Leonard, play their home games at Curry Arena located in Charlotte, North Carolina as members of the Atlantic Sun Conference.
This season marked Queens' third year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Royals are not eligible for NCAA postseason play until the 2026–27 season.

## Previous season

The Royals finished the 2023–24 season 14–19, 7–9 in ASUN play to finish in eighth place. They defeated Florida Gulf Coast in the first round, before falling to eventual tournament champions Stetson in the quarterfinals of the ASUN tournament.
