† 2023 C-USA tournament winner Rankings from AP poll |
The 2022–23 Charlotte 49ers men's basketball team represented the University of North Carolina at Charlotte during the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team was led by fifth-year head coach Ron Sanchez, and played their home games at Dale F. Halton Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina as members of Conference USA. They finished the season 18–13, 9–11 in C-USA play to finish in fifth place, and lost to Middle Tennessee in the first round of the C-USA tournament. Despite this, the 49ers received an invitation to the College Basketball Invitational, marking their first participation in the CBI and their first invite to a postseason tournament since 2013. In the CBI, Charlotte defeated Western Carolina, Milwaukee, and Radford to reach the championship game, where they defeated Eastern Kentucky to win their first-ever postseason tournament.[1]
This season marked the team's last as members of Conference USA before joining the American Athletic Conference on July 1, 2023.[2]
Previous season
The 49ers finished the 2021–22 season with a record of 17–14, 10–8 in C-USA play to finish in fourth place in East Division. They lost in the second round of the C-USA tournament to Rice. The team did not play in a post-season tournament.
