The 2023–24 Utah Tech Trailblazers men's basketball team represents Utah Tech University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Trailblazers, led by 19th-year head coach Jon Judkins, play their home games at Burns Arena in St. George, Utah as members of the Western Athletic Conference. They finished the season 11–20, 7–13 in WAC play to finish in ninth place, and thus they did not qualify to play in the WAC Tournament.

This season marked Utah Tech's final year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Trailblazers were not eligible to play in the NCAA tournament, but were eligible to play in the WAC tournament.

Previous season

The Trailblazers finished the 2022–23 season 14–19, 5–13 in WAC play, to finish in 12th place. In the first round of the WAC tournament, they upset Stephen F. Austin in overtime,[1] before falling to Southern Utah in the quarterfinals.[2]
