Previous season

They finished the non-conference portion of the season with a 6–7 record. They lost their first six conference games before winning against Virginia. The Panthers lost another six games before defeating Clemson for their second conference win of the season. The team would go on to lose their last four regular season games. The Panthers finished the season 8–24 overall and 2–16 in ACC play to finish in a tie for fourteenth place. As the fifteenth seed in the ACC tournament, they lost their First Round matchup with Georgia Tech. They were not invited to the NCAA tournament or the WBIT.
