2019 MAAC Tournament winner

Previous season

The Red Foxes finished the 2017–18 season 6–25 overall, 4–14 in MAAC play to finish in a tie for tenth place. They lost in the first round of the MAAC Tournament to Fairfield. On March 5, 2018, head coach Mike Maker was fired.[2] He finished at Marist with a four-year record of 28–97. On April 3, 2018, Marist hired their 12th head coach in program history, when Saint Peter's head coach John Dunne was tabbed as Mike Maker's successor. Dunne left Saint Peter's with a record of 153–225 over the span of 12 seasons.[3][4]

Preseason

Marist entered the season having lost 20 or more games for the last four seasons under former head coach Mike Maker. The team returned all five of their starters from last season, which included Brian Parker, who was named Preseason Second Team All-MAAC. Parker entered the season as the 10th all-time leading scorer in school history, and led the team in scoring last season. Also returning was Ryan Funk, the team's long-distance threat, who came into his senior season having made 185 three-pointers in his career, which is sixth-highest in school history.[5] Even with a new coach, and a completely new staff, MAAC coaches picked the Red Foxes to finish in sixth place in the preseason poll.[6]
