Rankings from AP poll

The 2022–23 Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team represented the University of Minnesota in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Gophers were led by second-year head coach Ben Johnson and played their home games at Williams Arena in Minneapolis, Minnesota as members of the Big Ten Conference.

Previous season

[edit]

In head coach Ben Johnson's first season leading the team, the Gophers finished the 2021–22 season 13–17 (4–16 in conference), finishing tied for 13th in the Big Ten conference. The team was almost entirely remade from the prior season, with 10 players transferring out of the program following the firing of former head coach Richard Pitino.[1]

The Gophers began the season well, compiling a 10–1 record to begin the season,[2], including the teams's first road win against Michigan in Ann Arbor since 2011.[3] The Gophers were unable to continue that success as the season wore on, losing 16 of their final 19 games and finishing the season with a 60–51 loss to Penn State in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament.[4]
