They defeated North Carolina Central in the quarterfinals of the MEAC Tournament,[1] advancing directly to the championship game after their semifinal opponent, North Carolina A&T, had to forfeit due to a positive COVID-19 test.[2] They defeated Morgan State in the championship game, advancing to their second NCAA Tournament, and their first since 2012.[3] They received the #16 seed in the West Region, facing off against Appalachian State in the First Four, narrowly winning the game,[4] advancing to the main bracket, where they would lose to the #1 overall seed and eventual runner-up Gonzaga in the first round.[5]
