† 2018 WAC tournament winner

The Cougars had the worst average point margin in Division I at –22.7 points, despite winning two games by over 40 points.[2]

After the season, Chicago State fired Dildy during the week of March 5, 2018, although it was not officially announced until a week later.[3] After a nearly a five-month search, Lance Irvin, a Chicago native and former assistant coach at DePaul and several other schools, was named the new head coach of the Cougars on August 7.[4]

Previous season

The Cougars finished the 2016–17 season 6–26, 1–13 in WAC play to finish in last place. Due to Grand Canyon's ineligibility for postseason play, they received the No. 7 seed in the WAC tournament where they lost in the quarterfinals to New Mexico State.
