The season will mark Dixie State's first year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Trailblazers are not eligible for NCAA postseason play and cannot participate in the WAC Tournament. They are eligible to play in the CIT or CBI, if invited.[1]
Previous season
The Trailblazers finished the 2019–20 season 23–7 overall, 17–5 in RMAC play to win the conference regular season championship. As the 1st seed in the 2020 RMAC Tournament, they were defeated by the No. 4 seeded Colorado Mesa in the semifinals 79–86.[2] They received the No. 3 seed in the South Central Region of the NCAA DII Tournament.[3] But, like many sporting events, the tournament was cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
