The 2021–22 Lamar Cardinals basketball team represented Lamar University during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Cardinals were led by first-year head coach Alvin Brooks and played their home games at the Montagne Center in Beaumont, Texas as members of the first-year members of the Western Athletic Conference.

The school announced on January 14, 2021, that the Cardinals would leave the Southland Conference to join the WAC for the 2021–22 season.[1]

Previous season

In a season limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Cardinals finished the 2020–21 season 10–18, 6–10 in Southland play to finish seventh place. In the Southland tournament, the Cardinals defeated Houston Baptist and Sam Houston State before losing to Abilene Christian in the semifinals.

Following the season, the school announced that head coach Tic Price would not be retained.[2] Shortly thereafter, Alvin Brooks, previously an assistant coach at Houston, was named the new head coach[3][4]
