Previous season

The Bears finished the 2023–24 season 9–23, 5–11 in ASUN play to finish in 11th place.[1] They failed to qualify for the ASUN tournament, as only the top ten team qualify.[2]

On March 2, 2024, the school announced that they would be relieving head coach Anthony Boone of his duties, after four seasons at the helm.[3] On March 18, the school announced the hiring of former Alabama–Huntsville head coach John Shulman as the team's next head coach.[4]
