Previous season

The Bears finished the 2018–19 season 20–12 overall, 7–7 in Ivy League play, to finish in a three-way tie for fourth place. Due to tiebreakers, they failed to qualify for the Ivy League tournament. They were invited to the CBI, where they defeated UAB in the first round, before falling to Loyola Marymount in the quarterfinals.
