† 2019 WAC Tournament winner

This season was CBU's first of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Lancers were not eligible for NCAA postseason play and did not participate in the WAC Tournament. They were eligible to play in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament or College Basketball Invitational. They finished the season 16–15, 7–9 in WAC play to finish in a tie for fifth place. The Lancers accepted an invitation to play in the CBI where they were defeated in the first round by Loyola Marymount.
