The 2023–24 Wofford Terriers men's basketball team represented Wofford College during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Terriers, led by first-year head coach Dwight Perry, played their home games at Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium in Spartanburg, South Carolina as a member of the Southern Conference.

Previous season

[edit]

The Terriers finished the 2022–23 season 17–16, 8–10 in SoCon play to finish in a tie for fifth place.[1] As the #6 seed, they upset #3 seed UNC Greensboro in the quarterfinals of the SoCon tournament,[2] before falling to #7 seed Chattanooga in the semifinals.[3]

On December 30, 2022, head coach Jay McAuley resigned after four years at the helm, after being on a leave of absence since December 5, with assistant coach Dwight Perry serving as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.[4] On March 21, 2023, the school removed the interim tag and made Perry the permanent head coach.[5]
