Rankings from AP poll

The 2020–21 Northern State Wolves men's basketball team represents Northern State University in the 2020-21 NCAA Division II men's basketball season. The Wolves are led by second year head coach Saul Phillips and play their home games at Wachs Arena in Aberdeen, South Dakota.[1] They compete as members of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, their season was greatly shortened.

Previous season

Following the departure of Paul Sather to North Dakota,[2] Saul Phillips was hired as the head coach of the Wolves.[3] During his first year, the Wolves went 26–6 (18–4 NSIC) and won both the NSIC regular season championship, but the NSIC tournament championship as well, which gave them the #4 seed in the 2020 NCAA Division II men's basketball tournament, which was eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
