The 2021–22 Eastern Michigan Eagles men's basketball team represented Eastern Michigan University during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Eagles, led by first-year head coach Stan Heath, played their home games at the George Gervin GameAbove Center in Ypsilanti, Michigan as members of the Mid-American Conference. They won the Michigan MAC Trophy.
In a season limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Eagles finished the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season 6–12, 3–11 in MAC play to finish in 10th place in the MAC. They failed to qualify for the MAC tournament.[1]
Following the season, the school announced it was parting ways with head coach Rob Murphy after 10 seasons.[2] On April 12, 2021, the school hired EMU alum and former Kent State, Arkansas, and South Florida head coach Stan Heath as the team's new head coach.[3]
