The 2020–21 North Dakota Fighting Hawks basketball team represented the University of North Dakota in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Fighting Hawks were led by second-year head coach Paul Sather and played their home games at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota, as members of the Summit League.
Under first-year head coach Paul Sather, the Fighting Hawks finished the 2019–20 season with a record of 15–18 overall, 7–9 in Summit League play, to finish sixth place. It was a monumental year for the Fighting Hawks as they reached the championship game of the Summit League tournament for the first time before losing to rival North Dakota State.[1] The Fighting Hawks also defeated Big Ten opponent Nebraska during the regular season by a score of 75–74.[2]
