Previous season

The Terriers finished the 2022–23 season 17–16, 8–10 in SoCon play to finish in a tie for fifth place.[1] As the #6 seed, they upset #3 seed UNC Greensboro in the quarterfinals of the SoCon tournament,[2] before falling to #7 seed Chattanooga in the semifinals.[3]

On December 30, 2022, head coach Jay McAuley resigned after four years at the helm, after being on a leave of absence since December 5, with assistant coach Dwight Perry serving as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.[4] On March 21, 2023, the school removed the interim tag and made Perry the permanent head coach.[5]
