The 2024–25 West Georgia Wolves men's basketball team represents the University of West Georgia during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Wolves, led by seventh-year head coach Dave Moore, play their home games at The Coliseum in Carrollton, Georgia as first-year members of the Atlantic Sun Conference.

This season will mark West Georgia's first year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Wolves are currently not eligible to participate in the NCAA tournament until the 2028–29 season.[1] A pending change to transition rules, scheduled to be voted on by the Division I Council in January 2025, would reduce the transition period to three years.[2]

Previous season

The Wolves finished the 2023–24 season 27–6, 19–5 in GSC play to finish as Gulf South Conference regular season champions.[3] They defeated Union,[4] West Alabama,[5] and Alabama–Huntsville to win the GSC tournament and earn the conference's automatic bid into the NCAA DII tournament.[6] They received the #2 seed in the South regional,[7] where they defeated conference foe Lee in the first round,[8] before falling to Florida Southern in the regional semifinals.[9]
