The 2022 U Sports Men's Final 8 Basketball Tournament was held April 1–3, 2022, in Edmonton, Alberta, to determine a national champion for the 2021–22 U Sports men's basketball season.[2][3]
Despite an undefeated regular season (12-0), the defending champion Carleton Ravens entered the tournament ranked seventh, following a loss in the Ontario provincial semi-final game (OUA East final) to the Queen's Gaels. However, the Ravens overcame three teams in this tournament to claim their 16th national title — their third straight crown, 10th of the last 11, and 16th of the last 19.[4] They remain the winningest top division school in Canada or the United States.
