2022–23 Ohio Bobcats men's basketball team

The 2022–23 Ohio University Bobcats men's basketball team represented Ohio University for the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bobcats were led by fourth-year head coach Jeff Boals, who was a 1995 graduate of Ohio University. They played their home games at the Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio as a member of the Mid-American Conference.

Ohio started the season slow after key player losses from the prior year. They also started conference play slowly with several difficult road games in January. They recovered in February and won seven out of their last nine regular season games to head into the MAC tournament at 18–13 as the fifth seed with a 10–8 conference record. They defeated Ball State in the first round of the MAC tournament before losing to top-seeded Toledo to finish 19–14.

Previous season
The Bobcats finished the 2021–22 season 25–10 and 14–6 in MAC play to finish in third place. As the No. 3 seed in the MAC tournament, they defeated Ball State before losing to Kent State in the semi-finals. They received a bid to the CBI. There they defeated Rice in the first round before losing to Abilene Christian in the second round.

Offseason
Ohio had a lot of roster turnover. Eleven of the sixteen players that had minutes the prior season either graduated, left the team, or transferred. Three key starters had to be replaced. Jason Carter graduated while Ben Vander Plas and Mark Sears transferred to high-major programs. Dwight Wilson III redshirted the previous season due to injury and returned for his final year.
