The 2024–25 Merrimack Warriors men's basketball team represents Merrimack College during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Warriors, led by ninth-year head coach Joe Gallo, play their home games at Hammel Court, with some games at Lawler Arena, located in North Andover, Massachusetts as first-year members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

Previous season

[edit]

The Warriors finished the 2023–24 season 21–12, 13–3 in NEC play to finish as NEC regular-season co-champions, alongside Central Connecticut.[1] They defeated LIU[2] and Le Moyne,[3] before falling to Wagner in the NEC tournament championship game.[4]

This would be the last season for Merrimack as members of the Northeast Conference, as they joined the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference for the 2024–25 season.[5]
