The 2021–22 Northern Iowa Panthers men's basketball team represents the University of Northern Iowa during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
The Panthers, led by 16th-year head coach Ben Jacobson, play their home games at the McLeod Center in Cedar Falls, Iowa as members of the Missouri Valley Conference.
Previous season
In a season limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Panthers finished the 2020–21 season 10–15, 7–11 in MVC play to finish in a three-way tie for fifth place.
Former MVC Player of the Year and first-team all-MVC star A. J. Green played in only three games before he underwent hip surgery and missed the remainder of the season.
As the No. 7 seed in the MVC Tournament, the Panthers defeated Illinois State in the first round.
However, they were forced to forfeit their quarterfinal game against Drake due to a positive COVID test and subsequent contact tracing within the UNI program.
