† 2024 Big Sky tournament winner |
The 2023–24 Northern Arizona Lumberjacks men's basketball team represents Northern Arizona University in the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They are led by fifth-year head coach Shane Burcar and split their home games between Rolle Activity Center and Findlay Toyota Court. The Lumberjacks compete as members of the Big Sky Conference.
Previous season
[edit]The Lumberjacks finished the season 12–23, 5–13 in conference play to finish in ninth place. In the Big Sky tournament, the team defeated Idaho, top-seeded Eastern Washington, and Montana to advance to the championship game. The Lumberjacks were the first 9-seed to ever advance to the championship of the Big Sky Tournament. Their run came to an end one victory short of an NCAA Tournament appearance with a loss to Montana State to end their season. Had they clinched the auto-bid, the Lumberjacks would have had the lowest winning-percentage of any team in NCAA Tournament history.[1]
