The 2021–22 Wagner Seahawks men's basketball team represents Wagner College during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Seahawks are led by 10th-year head coach Bashir Mason. They play their home games at Spiro Sports Center on the school's Staten Island campus as members of the Northeast Conference.
Previous season
In a season limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Seahawks finished the season 13–7, 13–5 in NEC play to win the regular season championship.[1][2] They lost in the semifinals of the NEC Tournament to Mount St. Mary's.[3] Due to the ongoing pandemic, the National Invitation Tournament was modified and, as a result, did not award bids to teams who had won their regular season championship, but failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.[4] The Seahawks did not receive a bid to the NIT.[5]
Schedule and results
Following wins in the first two games of the season, the Seahawks were forced to postpone three consecutive non-conference games due to COVID-19 issues within the program.[6][7] They returned to play on December 1, but were without head coach Mason and two of their leading scorers.[8]
NEC COVID-19 policy provided that if a team could not play a conference game due to COVID-19 issues within its program, the game would be declared a forfeit and the other team would receive a conference win. However, wins related to COVID-19 do not count pursuant to NCAA policy.[9]
