The San Jose State Spartans men's basketball team represents San José State University in NCAA Division I college basketball as a member of the Mountain West Conference. History The SJSU men's basketball team played its first recorded game in 1909. The team has won 10 conference championships, appeared in the NCAA tournament three times, appeared once in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), and once in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI). From the 1930s to 1976, the team played home games at the on-campus Spartan Gym. Starting in 1961, the team also played home games at the off-campus San Jose Civic Auditorium. From 1976 to 1979, the Spartans played their home games at Independence High School, as the Civic Auditorium was being remodeled. The team resumed play at the Civic beginning in the 1979–80 season. In 1989, the on-campus Event Center became the primary home for San Jose State basketball.

Wojcik succeeded George Nessman, who was fired at the end of the 2012–2013 season. Wojcik resigned unexpectedly on July 11, 2017, for personal reasons, and assistant coach Rodney Tention was named interim head coach. On August 4, 2017, San Jose State hired Colorado assistant Jean Prioleau. Four weeks later, forward Brandon Clarke, San Jose State's best player and reigning Mountain West Sixth Man of the Year award winner, transferred to Gonzaga. Clarke would eventually be a first-round draft pick in the 2019 NBA draft. Clarke's departure had an immediate effect on the team's performance, as the Spartans dropped to 4–26 (1–17 MW) in 2017–18 after compiling a 14–16 record in Wojcik's final season. Prioleau was fired on March 12, 2021, after four seasons. He left San Jose State with a cumulative 20–93 (.177) overall record. On April 6, 2021, San Jose State hired former Nebraska head coach Tim Miles to take over as head coach at SJSU. Miles arrived at San Jose State with nearly 400 career wins (399–334) and over 24 years of head coaching experience.
