* Ineligible for the 2023 NCAA tournament due to transition from Division II
† 2023 ASUN tournament winner

The 2022–23 Queens Royals men's basketball team represented the Queens University of Charlotte in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Lions, led by first-year head coach Grant Leonard, played their home games at Curry Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina, as first-year members of the ASUN Conference. They finished the season 18–15, 7–11 in ASUN play, to finish in a tie for ninth place. As the No. 9 seed in the ASUN tournament, they defeated Florida Gulf Coast before losing to Kennesaw State in the quarterfinals.

This season marked Queens' first year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Royals were not eligible for NCAA postseason play until the 2026–27 season.[1]

Previous season

[edit]

The Royals finished the 2021–22 NCAA Division II season 30–4, 21–3 in South Atlantic Conference play, to finish as SAC regular season co-champions. They defeated Catawba,[2] Newberry[3] and Carson–Newman to win the SAC tournament.[4] They qualified for the DII NCAA tournament, where they defeated Columbus State[5] and conference co-champion Lincoln Memorial[6] before losing to eventual national runner-up Augusta in the Southeast Regional final.[7]

On May 6, 2022, the school announced it would move to Division I as a member of the ASUN Conference.[1]
