2019 MAAC tournament winner

The 2018–19 Marist Red Foxes men's basketball team represented Marist College in the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team played its home games in Poughkeepsie, New York for the 42nd consecutive year at the McCann Arena, which has a capacity of 3,200. This season marked the program's 38th Division I season and its 22nd consecutive year as a member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The team was led by first-year head coach John Dunne, who took the open head coaching position after spending the last 12 seasons at conference rival Saint Peter's University. They finished the 2018–19 season 12–19 overall, 7–11 in MAAC play to finish in eighth place. As the No. 8 seed in the 2019 MAAC tournament, they were defeated by No. 9 seed Saint Peter's in the first round 68–71 in overtime.[1]

Previous season[edit]

The Red Foxes finished the 2017–18 season 6–25 overall, 4–14 in MAAC play to finish in a tie for tenth place. They lost in the first round of the MAAC tournament to Fairfield. On March 5, 2018, head coach Mike Maker was fired.[2] He finished at Marist with a four-year record of 28–97. On April 3, 2018, Marist hired their 12th head coach in program history, when Saint Peter's head coach John Dunne was tabbed as Mike Maker's successor. Dunne left Saint Peter's with a record of 153–225 over the span of 12 seasons.[3][4]

Preseason[edit]

Marist entered the season having lost 20 or more games for the last four seasons under former head coach Mike Maker. The team returned all five of their starters from last season, which included Brian Parker, who was named Preseason Second Team All-MAAC. Parker entered the season as the 10th all-time leading scorer in school history, and led the team in scoring last season. Also returning was Ryan Funk, the team's long-distance threat, who came into his senior season having made 185 three-pointers in his career, which is sixth-highest in school history.[5] Even with a new coach, and a completely new staff, MAAC coaches picked the Red Foxes to finish in sixth place in the preseason poll.[6]
