The 2021–22 UNC Greensboro Spartans men's basketball team represent the University of North Carolina at Greensboro during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Spartans, led by first-year head coach Mike Jones, play most of their home games at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, with a handful of games at Fleming Gymnasium, on the UNCG campus. They are members of the Southern Conference (SoCon).
Previous season[]
The Spartans finished the 2020–21 season 21–9, 13–5 in SoCon play to win the SoCon regular season. They went on to win the SoCon Tournament, defeating Mercer in the finals, and receiving the automatic berth to the 2021 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, where they lost in the Round of 64 to Florida State.
Guard Isaiah Miller was named Southern Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year for the second consecutive year, the first men's player to do so since Stephen Curry. He was also named conference Defensive Player of the Year and named to the All-Southern Conference first-team for a third consecutive season.[1]
Offseason[]
Following the 2020-21 season, head coach Wes Miller left UNCG to take the position of head men's basketball coach at Cincinnati.[2]
On April 19, 2021, Mike Jones, previously of Radford, was hired to be the new head men's basketball coach.[3]
Nine players entered the transfer portal with graduate student Hayden Koval and sophomores Jarrett Hensley and A.J. McGinnis, along with assistant coach Chris LePore, electing to join Miller at Cincinnati.[4][5] Senior Kaleb Hunter and junior Bas Leyte withdrew from the transfer portal and chose to stay at UNCG.[6]
The Spartans mitigated those transfer losses with transfers of their own, bringing in Graduate Student De'Monte Buckingham from Cal State-Bakersfield, Senior Dante Treacy from Robert Morris, and Junior Jalen White from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, all of whom were expected to make an impact on Mike Jones's team.
