# 2010–11 Bethune–Cookman Wildcats men's basketball team

The 2010–11 Bethune–Cookman Wildcats men's basketball team represented Bethune–Cookman University in the 2010–11 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Wildcats, led by head coach Clifford Reed, played their home games at Moore Gymnasium and the Ocean Center, both in Daytona Beach, Florida, as members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The Wildcats won the MEAC regular-season title, their first since joining Division I in 1980. The Wildcats were the number one seed in the MEAC tournament, but were upset in the semifinals by Morgan State.
Bethune–Cookman failed to qualify for the NCAA tournament, but received an automatic bid to the 2011 NIT as the regular-season champions of the MEAC. The Wildcats were eliminated in the first round of the NIT by Virginia Tech, 79–54.
