† 2019 MEAC tournament winner |
The 2018–19 Delaware State Hornets men's basketball team represented Delaware State University in the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They played their home games at Memorial Hall in Dover, Delaware, and were led by 1st-year head coach Eric Skeeters.
Previous season
[edit]The Hornets finished the 2017–18 season 4–28, 2–14 in the MEAC play to finish in last place. They lost in the first round of the MEAC tournament to North Carolina A&T. They lost every game on the road and on a neutral court, with both of their non-conference victories coming against non-Division I schools. They had the dubious distinction of finishing the season 351st in RPI out of the 351 teams in the NCAA.[1]
On February 22, 2018, head coach Keith Walker was fired and associate head coach Keith Johnson was named interim head coach for the remainder of the season.[2][3] On July 26, 5 months after Walker was fired, the school hired UMBC assistant Eric Skeeters for the head coaching job.[4]
