Previous season

[edit]

In a season limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Bearcats finished the 2020–21 season 4–14, 4–10 in America East play to finish in ninth place. As the 9th seed in the America East tournament, they lost to 4th seeded Hartford 60–77 in the first round.[1]

On March 1, 2021, the school announced that head coach Tommy Dempsey's contract would not be renewed, and named assistant coach Levell Sanders as the interim head coach for the season, while the school will look for a permanent replacement.[2]
