Matt Langel (born November 21, 1977) is the head coach for the Colgate Raiders men's basketball team. He previously served as an assistant for the Temple Owls men's basketball team for five seasons under Fran Dunphy.
Langel attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he starred on the Quaker basketball team under coach Fran Dunphy. As a freshman, he helped the 1996–97 team finish with a record of 12–15 and 8–6 in the Ivy League. In Langel's sophomore year, the 1997–98 Quaker team went 17–12 and 10–4 in the Ivy. The 1998–99 team reached the 1999 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament after going 21–6 and 17–1 in conference.
He was honorary co-captain (along with Michael-Hakim Jordan) in his senior season in 1999–2000. He led the team to an undefeated (14–0) Ivy League season, a 21–8 record, and an NCAA Tournament berth. On February 5, 2000, against Brown University, Langel knocked down eight three-point shots, two shy of the school record. He netted 70 3-pointers on the season, eighth in Penn history. After the season, Langel was selected to the All-Ivy League First Team. Langel finished his career at the University of Pennsylvania with 1,191 points. His 201 career 3-pointers ranks fourth in the Quaker record books, and 11th in Ivy League history.
The Atlantic City Seagulls of the United States Basketball League drafted Langel in the 2000 USBL Draft. He tried out for the Seattle SuperSonics in 2000, but did not make the squad. He began his professional career playing for Chene BC in Switzerland and ALM Evreux Basket in the France Pro A league. In 2001, Langel worked out in the Philadelphia 76ers summer camp before Mitteldeutscher BC and Phoenix Hagen in German Bundesliga I came calling. He ended his professional career with Eiffel Towers in the Netherlands.
