The Bison, led by second-year head coach Kenny Blakeney, played their home games at Burr Gymnasium in Washington, D.C. as members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. With the creation of divisions to cut down on travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they will play in the Northern Division. They finished the season 1–4, 0–0 in MEAC play before suspending their season on February 9, 2021 due to an abundance of positive cases amongst their players amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
