As of March 8, 2025

The 2024–25 Lindenwood Lions men's basketball team represents Lindenwood University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Lions, led by sixth-year head coach Kyle Gerdeman, play their home games at the Robert F. Hyland Arena in St. Charles, Missouri as members of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC).

This season marks Lindenwood's third year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Lions are not eligible for NCAA postseason play until the 2026–27 season.[1]

Previous season

The Lions finished the 2023–24 season 9–22, 3–15 in OVC play to finish in last place.[2] They failed to qualify for the OVC tournament, as only the top eight teams qualify.[3]
