Previous season

The Tribe finished the 2024–25 season 16–19, 8–10 in CAA play, to finish in three-way tie for ninth place.[1] As the #9 seed in the CAA tournament, they upset Hofstra,[2] top-seeded North Carolina A&T,[3] Drexel,[4] and Campbell in the CAA tournament championship game, marking the first NCAA tournament appearance in school history for either of the women's or men's basketball teams. By winning the CAA tournament as the #9 seed, they became the lowest seeded in CAA history to ever win the CAA championship.[5] In the tournament, they would receive the No. 16 seed in the Birmingham Regional 3,[6] where they defeated fellow No. 16 seed High Point in the First Four, for the first NCAA tournament win in school history,[7] before falling to #1 seed Texas in the First Round.[8]
