The 2021–22 Abilene Christian Wildcats men's basketball team represents Abilene Christian University (ACU) in the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Wildcats, led by first-year head coach Brette Tanner, are members of the Western Athletic Conference. Due to renovations at their usual home arena of Moody Coliseum, they play their home games on temporary stands and court set up on the indoor tennis courts of the Teague Special Events Center.[1]

This season is the Wildcats' first season in the Western Athletic Conference. ACU and three other schools from Texas joined the conference on July 1, 2021 leaving the Southland Conference.[2]

Previous season

The Wildcats finished the 2020–21 season 24–5, 13–2 in Southland play to finish in second place. As the No. 2 seed, they received a bye to the semifinals of the Southland Tournament defeating Lamar 93–71 and Nicholls 79–45 in the championship game receiving the SLC's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. In the NCAA Tournament, the Wildcats upset Texas 53–52 in the first round. Their season ended when they lost to UCLA 47–67 in the second round.
