† 2023 SoCon tournament winner

The 2022–23 Wofford Terriers men's basketball team represented Wofford College in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Terriers, led by interim head coach Dwight Perry, played their home games at Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium in Spartanburg, South Carolina as a member of the Southern Conference. They finished the season 17–16, 8–10 in SoCon play to finish in a tie for fifth place. As the No. 6 seed in the SoCon tournament, they defeated UNC Greensboro in the quarterfinalse before losing to Chattanooga in the semifinals.

On December 30, 2022, fourth-year head coach Jay McAuley resigned, after being on a leave of absence since December 5. Assistant coach Dwight Perry served as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.[1] On March 21, 2023, the school made Perry the permanent head coach.[2]

Previous season

The Terriers finished the 2021–22 season 19–13, 10–8 in SoCon play to finish in a tie for third place.[3] In the SoCon tournament, they defeated VMI in the quarterfinals,[4] before falling to Chattanooga in the semifinals.[5] They were invited to participate in The Basketball Classic, but were forced to withdraw, due to a "variety of logistical factors".[6]
