They defeated Troy in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Tournament before losing to Appalachian State in the semifinals.[3] They received a bid to the College Basketball Invitational[4] where they defeated Bryant[5] and Stetson to advance to the CBI championship game.[6] There they lost to Pepperdine.[7]
