As of March 21, 2022; 

The 2021–22 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks basketball team represent Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Lumberjacks, led by sixth-year head coach Kyle Keller, play home games at the William R. Johnson Coliseum in Nacogdoches, Texas. This season is the Lumberjacks' first as members of the Western Athletic Conference; SFA is one of four schools, all from Texas, that left the Southland Conference in July 2021 joining the WAC.[1]

Previous season[]

The Lumberjacks finished the 2020–21 season 16–5, 12–3 in Southland Conference play to finish in fourth place. They did not participate in the Southland Tournament due to a postseason ban for low APR scores.[2] This season was the Lumberjacks' last as members of the Southland Conference, as they joined the Western Athletic Conference for the 2021–22 season.[3]
