The 2021–22 Kansas City Roos men's basketball team represented the University of Missouri–Kansas City during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Roos, led by third-year head coach Billy Donlon, played their home games on-campus at Swinney Recreation Center in Kansas City, Missouri as a returning member of the Summit League.
The Roos finished the season 19–12 overall, 12–6 in Summit League play, to finish in a tie for third place. They were defeated by South Dakota in the Summit League tournament quarterfinal round.
Approximately six weeks following the end of the season, Coach Donlon announced his resignation as head coach in order to "pursue other opportunities". Within four days, Donlon was announced as the associate head coach at Clemson University, reuniting with head coach Brad Brownell. Brownell and Donlon were both assistant coaches at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) in 2001-02. Donlon continued on at UNCW as an assistant coach when Brownell was named the program's head coach (2002-06). Donlon followed Brownell to his next stop at Wright State University (WSU), becoming his associate head coach (2006–10). Donlon ultimately was named the head coach at WSU when Brownell went to Clemson.
