The UMass Lowell River Hawks men's basketball team represents the University of Massachusetts Lowell in Lowell, Massachusetts, United States. Beginning in the 2013–14 season, the River Hawks made the jump to NCAA Division I and joined the America East Conference. As part of their transition from Division II to Division I, they will not be eligible for postseason play until the 2017-2018 season. The team is coached by Pat Duquette, who is in his second season. The River Hawks currently play most of their home games at the Costello Athletic Center, but will move to the Tsongas Center once their four-year transition into Division I is complete. In 1988, UMass Lowell (then known as the University of Lowell) was the NCAA Division II national champions.
The River Hawks have appeared in the NCAA Division II Tournament ten times, making that tournament's Elite Eight three times. Their combined record is 15–9. They were Division II national champions in 1988.
