2023 Big West Conference men's basketball tournament
The 2023 Big West Conference men's basketball tournament was the postseason tournament for the Big West during the 2022–23 season. It was held March 7–11, 2023 at the Dollar Loan Center in Henderson, Nevada.
Ten teams competed in the tournament, with UC San Diego ineligible while finishing its four-year transition from Division II to Division I. Teams were seeded by their regular-season Big West records, and tiebreakers were used for any ties.
Unlike some past formats, teams were not reseeded before the semifinals.
UC Santa Barbara won the tournament, claiming its 5th Big West title and earning the conference’s automatic bid to the 2023 NCAA tournament. The Gauchos were coached by Joe Pasternack, who earned his 2nd tournament title. TV coverage included ESPN+, ESPNU, and ESPN2.
