* ineligible for the 2023 NCAA tournament due to transition period
2023 Big West tournament winner

The Tritons are ineligible for postseason tournaments, including the NCAA tournament, as they are in the third year of the a four-year mandatory transition period to Division I.

Previous season

The Tritons finished the 2021–22 season 13–16, 7–11 in Big West play, which would have put them in eighth place, but their conference games did not count on the records of the Tritons or any other member of the Big West, due to their four-year mandatory transition period to Division I.[1]
