    Rankings from AP poll

    The 2022–23 North Texas Mean Green men's basketball team represented the University of North Texas during the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team was led by fifth-year head coach Grant McCasland, and played their home games at UNT ColiseuminDenton, Texas as a member of Conference USA. They finished the season 31–7, going 16–4 in C-USA play to finish in second place. They defeated Louisiana Tech in the quarterfinals of the C-USA tournament before losing to UAB. They received an at-large bid to the National Invitation Tournament as a No. 2 seed. They defeated Alcorn State, Sam Houston, Oklahoma State, and Wisconsin to advance to the championship game. There they defeated C-USA foe UAB to win the NIT championship.

    On March 31, 2023, head coach Grant McCasland left the school to take the head coaching position at Texas Tech.[1] On April 2, the school named associate head coach Ross Hodge the team's new head coach.[2]

    The season marked the team's last season as members of Conference USA before joining the American Athletic Conference on July 1, 2023.[3]

    Previous season

As a No. 1 seed who didn’t win their conference tournament, they received an automatic bid to the National Invitation Tournament where they defeated Texas State in the first round before losing in the second round to Virginia.
