Previous season

[edit]

The Owls finished the 2018–19 season 6–26 overall, 3–13 in ASUN play, to finish in a tie for 8th place, and due to their tiebreaker over Stetson, they qualified for the conference tournament. In the ASUN tournament, they lost in the first round to top-seeded Lipscomb.[1]

On February 21, 2019, head coach Al Skinner announced his resignation from Kennesaw State effective at the end of the season.[2] On April 18, 2019, Amir Abdur-Rahim was announced as Skinner's replacement.[3]
