Previous season
In a season limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Seahawks finished the season 13–7, 13–5 in NEC play to win the regular season championship.[1][2] They lost in the semifinals of the NEC Tournament to Mount St. Mary's.[3] Due to the ongoing pandemic, the National Invitation Tournament was modified and, as a result, did not award bids to teams who had won their regular season championship, but failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.[4] The Seahawks did not receive a bid to the NIT.[5]
Schedule and results
Following wins in the first two games of the season, the Seahawks were forced to postpone three consecutive non-conference games due to COVID-19 issues within the program.[6][7] They returned to play on December 1, but were without head coach Mason and two of their leading scorers.[8]
