Previous season

edit

The Tritons finished the 2023–24 season 21–12, 15–5 in Big West play to finish in second place.[1] Since they were in the final year of the a four-year mandatory transition period from Division II to Division I, they were ineligible to participate in the Big West tournament.[2] They received an invitation to the CBI, receiving the #2 seed,[3] where they would be upset by Chicago State in the first round.[4]
