The 2024–25 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks basketball team represented Stephen F. Austin State University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Lumberjacks, led by interim head coach Tony Jasick, played their home games at the William R. Johnson Coliseum in Nacogdoches, Texas as members of the Southland Conference. Former head coach Kyle Keller, who was in his 9th season at SFU, was relieved of his duties on January 22, 2025.[1] The Lumberjacks finished the 2024–25 season 14–17, 7–13 in conference play to finish in tenth place. Failing to qualify for the SLC tournament, the Lumberjacks' season ended with a 64–95 loss to conference regular season champion, McNeese.
