The 2022–23 St. Thomas Tommies men's basketball team represented the University of St. Thomas in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Tommies, led by twelfth-year head coach John Tauer, played their home games at Schoenecker Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota as members of the Summit League.
This season marked St. Thomas's second year of a five-year transition period from Division III to Division I, an incredibly rare and historic jump that bypasses Division II altogether. As a result, the Tommies were not eligible for NCAA postseason play until 2026–27. Despite this, the Tommies were able to participate in their first-ever Division I conference tournament, as the Summit League announced the 2023 Summit League men's basketball tournament would include all ten conference teams. They defeated Western Illinois in their first-ever conference tournament game before falling to top-seeded Oral Roberts in the conference quarterfinals.
Previous season The Tommies finished the 2021–22 season 10–20, 4–14 in Summit League play, to finish in a tie for eighth place. Because the Tommies were in the first year of a five-year transition period from DIII to DI, they were not eligible for NCAA postseason play, including the Summit League tournament.
