The 2020–21 Sam Houston State Bearkats men's basketball team represented Sam Houston State University in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bearkats, led by 11th-year head coach Jason Hooten, played their home games at the Bernard Johnson Coliseum in Huntsville, Texas.
The season was the Bearkats' last as members of the Southland Conference; Sam Houston is one of four schools, all from Texas, that left the Southland in July 2021 to join the Western Athletic Conference.[1]
The Bearkats finished the 2019–20 season 18–13, 11–9 in Southland play to finish in a tie for fourth place. They were set to on Northwestern State in the second round of the Southland tournament until the tournament was cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
