2023 MEAC tournament winner

The 2022–23 Coppin State Eagles men's basketball team represented Coppin State University in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Eagles, led by sixth-year head coach Juan Dixon, played their home games at the Physical Education Complex in Baltimore, Maryland as members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. They finished the season 9–23, 4–10 in MEAC play to finish in a tie for sixth place. They lost to Norfolk State in the quarterfinals of the MEAC tournament.

On March 21, 2023, the school fired head coach Juan Dixon.[1] On May 5, the school named CSU alum and Maryland Eastern Shore assistant coach Larry Stewart the team's new head coach.[2]

Previous season

The Eagles finished the 2021–22 season 9–22, 6–8 in MEAC play to finish tied for sixth place. As the No. 7 seed, they upset No. 2 seed Howard[3] and No. 3 seed North Carolina Central to clinch a spot in the MEAC tournament championship, their first such appearance since 2008.[4] Unlike that prior title appearance, they were unable to win, losing to top-seeded Norfolk State.[5]
