The 2023–24 Southern Utah Thunderbirds men's basketball team represented Southern Utah University in the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They were led by first-year head coach Rob Jeter and play their games at America First Event Center as members of the Western Athletic Conference. They finished the season 10–21, 5–15 in WAC play to finish in tenth place, and thus they did not qualify to play in the WAC Tournament.

    Previous season

    edit

    The Thunderbirds finished the 2022–23 season 24–13, 12–6 in WAC play to finish in third place.[1] In the WAC tournament, the team won their first two games against Utah Tech and Utah Valley before falling to Grand Canyon in the championship. The Thunderbirds were invited to appear in the College Basketball Invitational where they defeated North Alabama and Rice to advance to the semifinals. They were defeated by Eastern Kentucky to end their season.

    On March 15, head coach Todd Simon accepted the same position at Bowling Green; assistant coach Flynn Clayman served as interim head coach during the College Basketball Invitational.[2][3] On April 7, it was announced that Western Illinois head coach Rob Jeter would be named the school's next head coach.[4]
