The 2022–23 Kansas City Roos men's basketball team represented the University of Missouri–Kansas City during the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Roos, led by first-year head coach Marvin Menzies, played their home games on-campus at Swinney Recreation Center in Kansas City, Missouri as a member of The Summit League (The Summit).

The Roos finished the season 11–21 overall, 7–11 in The Summit to finish in a tie for sixth place. As the seventh seed, they were defeated by the University of Nebraska Omaha in The Summit tournament first round.

Previous Season

The Kangaroos finished the 2021–22 season with a record of 19–12 overall, 12–6 in The Summit to finish in a tie for third place.

Head Coach Billy Donlon stepped down on April 21, 2022 to "pursue other opportunities",^[1] ending his three-year tenure at the helm. Four days later, Donlon was announced as the associate head coach at Clemson University.^[2] The next day, Marvin Menzies was hired as head coach for the University of Missouri Kansas City.^[3] Menzies was familiar with the Kansas City program, having coached against them during their days as a member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) (both as a head coach at New Mexico State University and an associate head coach at Grand Canyon University).
