† 2024 MAAC tournament winner |
The 2023–24 Quinnipiac Bobcats men's basketball team represented Quinnipiac University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bobcats, led by first-year head coach Tom Pecora, played their home games at M&T Bank Arena in Hamden, Connecticut as members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Previous season
The Bobcats finished the 2022–23 season 20–12, 11–9 in MAAC play, to finish in a tie for third place.[1] As the #3 seed in the MAAC tournament, they were upset by #11 seed Marist in the quarterfinals.[2]
On April 13, 2023, head coach Baker Dunleavy resigned, in order to take the newly created position of general manager of basketball at his alma mater, Villanova.[3] Special assistant to the head coach Tom Pecora was immediately elevated to be the team's next head coach.[4]
