† 2025 ASUN tournament winner

The 2024–25 Bellarmine Knights men's basketball team will represent Bellarmine University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Knights, led by 20th-year head coach Scott Davenport, will play their home games at Knights Hall located in Louisville, Kentucky as members of the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Previous season

The Knights finished the 2023–24 season 8–23, 4–12 in ASUN play to finish in 12th (last) place.^[1] They failed to qualify for the ASUN tournament, as only the top ten team qualify.^[2]

The Knights were in the final year of a four-year transition from Division II to Division I, making the 2023–24 season the final season that they were ineligible for the NCAA tournament.

This was also the Knights' final season at Freedom Hall. Near the start of the 2024–25 school year, which coincided with the end of Bellarmine's transition to Division I, the school announced that home games would return to campus at Knights Hall.^[3]
