The 2018–19 North Dakota Fighting Hawks men's basketball team represented the University of North Dakota during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Fighting Hawks, led by 13th-year head coach Brian Jones, played their home games at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota as first-year members of the Summit League. They finished the season 12–18 overall, 6–10 in Summit League play, to finish in 7th place. In the Summit League tournament, they were defeated by Omaha in the quarterfinals.[1]
On May 1, 2019, it was announced that head coach Brian Jones was stepping down, in order to take the associate head coaching position at Illinois State.[2] On May 30, head coach of DII Northern State, Paul Sather, was announced as Jones' replacement.[3]
