On March 5, 2023, the school fired head coach Nate James.[1] On March 13, the school named Northwestern State head coach Corey Gipson the team's new head coach.[2]

Previous season

The Governors finished the 2021–22 season 12–17, 8–10 in OVC play to finish in a tie for fifth place. As the No. 6 seed in the OVC tournament, they lost to Tennessee Tech in the first round.[3]

The season marked their last season as members of the Ohio Valley Conference, where they had been members since 1962. They joined the ASUN Conference on July 1, 2022.[4]

This was also meant to be their last season in the Dunn Center,[5] but the opening of their future home, F&M Bank Arena, was delayed until July 2023.[6]
