The 2021–22 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) men's basketball season began with practices in October 2021, followed by the start of the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season in November. Conference play started in December and will conclude in March 2022. This is the 41st season of MAAC basketball.

The 2022 MAAC Tournament was held from March 8 through March 13 at the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey for the third year in a row.^[1] Saint Peter's defeated Monmouth in the championship to win the conference's automatic bid to the 2022 NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2011. Saint Peter's received a No. 15 seed in the NCAA Tournament East Region, and faced No. 2 seed Kentucky in the first round. They became the tenth No. 15 seed on record to upset a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament with a shocking 85–79 victory in overtime. Advancing to the second round, they took on No. 7 seed Murray State, winning that game 70–60, and became the third No. 15 seed to advance to the Sweet 16.^[2] At the same time, they became the first MAAC men's basketball program to ever advance to the Sweet 16 as well.^[3] In the Sweet Sixteen, Saint Peter's would become the first ever No. 15 seed to advance to the Elite Eight after beating No. 3 seed Purdue 67–64.

This is the final MAAC season for Monmouth, which joins the Colonial Athletic Conference on July 1, 2022.^[4]
