# 2019–20 Seattle Redhawks men's basketball team

The 2019–20 Seattle Redhawks men's basketball team represented Seattle University during the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Redhawks, led by third-year head coach Jim Hayford, played their home games at the Redhawk Center, with three home games at the ShoWare Center, as members of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). They finished the season 14–15, 7–7 in WAC play, to finish in a tie for fifth place. Due to irregularities in conference standings due to cancelled games, they were set to be the No. 3 seed in the WAC tournament; however, the tournament was cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

## Previous season

They finished the season 18–15, 6–10 in WAC play, to finish in a tie for seventh place. In the postseason, they were defeated by Grand Canyon in the 2019 WAC tournament. They received an invitation to the CIT where they lost in the first round to Presbyterian.
