    Rankings from AP Poll

    The 2023–24 Arizona Wildcats men's basketball team represented the University of Arizona during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team was led by Tommy Lloyd, in his third season as head coach. It was the Wildcats' 50th season at the on-campus McKale CenterinTucson, Arizona. It was their 45th and final season as members of the Pac-12 Conference.[1] With 29 victories during the season, Lloyd can pass Brad Stevens with the most victories in the first three years by a head coach to start their career.[2]

    Previous season[edit]

    In Lloyd's second season, The Wildcats finished the 2022–23 season at 28–7, 14–6 in Pac-12 play to finish in a tie for second place. Arizona went 15–2 at home, 6–3 on the road, and 7–1 at neutral sites. The Wildcats won the school's ninth conference tournament title.[3] Arizona received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 2 seed in the South region.[4] They lost to No. 15 seed Princeton in the First Round.[5]

    Offseason[edit]

    Coaching staff changes[edit]

    The Wildcats had no coaching staff changes.

    Departures[edit]

    Due to COVID-19, the NCAA ruled in October 2020 that the 2020–21 season would not count against the eligibility of any basketball player, thus giving all players the option to return in 2022–23.[6] Additionally, any players who have declared for the 2023 NBA draft—including seniors, who must opt into this year's draft—have the option to return if they make a timely withdrawal from the draft and end any pre-draft relationships with agents. Thus, separate lists will initially be maintained for confirmed and potential departures.
