 The 2002–03 men's basketball season was marred by a scandal after a transfer student from a junior college, Jamil Terrell, was permitted to play even though he had not completed his associate degree and was therefore ineligible for one year.The team was forced to forfeit every game in which he played and was barred from the A-10 Tournament.In protest, players voted to sit out the last two games of the regular season.
