The 2010–11 North Dakota Fighting Sioux men's basketball team represented the University of North Dakota in the 2010–11 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Fighting Sioux, led by head coach Brian Jones, played their home games at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota, as members of the Great West Conference. This was the last season that North Dakota was known as the Fighting Sioux; following years of controversy, the university announced plans stop using the nickname by April 2011.[1] The team went without a nickname for the next four seasons, later adopting the nickname Fighting Hawks in 2015.[2]

After finishing 3rd in the Great West during the regular season, the Fighting Sioux won three straight games in the Great West tournament by a total of four points, capped off with a double-overtime victory over to win the Great West tournament championship.[3]

As a recently formed conference, the Great West Conference was not eligible for an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.[4] Instead, as the Great West champion, North Dakota was given an automatic bid[5] to the 2011 CIT. The Fighting Sioux were eliminated in the first round of the tournament by Air Force, 77–67.[6]
