In the first game of the 2022-23 season, USD defeated Sonoma State, 81-59.

Sigu Sisoho Jawara led the team with 17 points in his USD debut, shooting 7-of-13 from the floor and 3-of-7 from long range. Jase Townsend added 16 points in the win, drilling three of his four three-point attempts. Both players added five assists each.
