2017–18 Northern Kentucky Norse men's basketball
The Northern Kentucky Norse, led by third-year head coach John Brannen, played in the Horizon League during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I season. They competed at BB&T Arena in Highland Heights, Kentucky. The Norse finished 22–10 overall and 15–3 in Horizon League play, winning the regular-season championship.
In the Horizon League tournament, they were upset in the quarterfinals by eighth-seeded Cleveland State. As regular-season champions who did not win the tournament, NKU earned an automatic bid to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), where they lost in the first round to Louisville.
The team shared BB&T Arena with the University of Cincinnati for part of the season while Cincinnati’s home arena, Fifth Third Arena, was undergoing renovations.
