† 2024 CAA tournament winner

The 2023–24 Hofstra Pride men's basketball team represented Hofstra University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Pride, led by third-year head coach Speedy Claxton, played their home games at the Mack Sports Complex in Hempstead, New York, as members of the Coastal Athletic Association.

Previous season

The Pride finished the 2022–23 season 25–10, 16–2 in CAA play to finish as CAA regular season co–champions, alongside Charleston.[1] Due to tiebreakers, they received the #1 seed in the CAA tournament, where they defeated #8 seed William & Mary in the quarterfinals,[2] before being upset by #4 seed UNC Wilmington in the semifinals.[3] As a regular season conference champion who failed to win their conference tournament, they received an automatic bid to the NIT, where, in the first round, they would upset #1 seed Rutgers in overtime,[4] before falling to Cincinnati in the second round.[5]
