On March 3, head coach Rick Ray was fired.[1][2] He finished at Southeast Missouri State with a five-year record of 51–104. On March 23, the school named former Kansas State assistant coach Brad Korn the new head coach.[3]

Previous season

The Redhawks finished the 2018–19 season 10–21 overall, 5–13 in OVC play, finishing in 11th place. Only the top eight teams can play in the OVC Tournament, so the Redhawks did not qualify this season.[4]
