The Ramblers, led by eighth-year head coach Porter Moser, played their home games at the Joseph J. Gentile Arena in Chicago, Illinois as members of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). They finished the season 21–11, 13–5 in MVC play, to finish in second place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the MVC tournament to Valparaiso.
