The Crusaders, led by first-year head coach Matt Lottich, play their home games at the Athletics–Recreation Center and are members of the Horizon League.

The Crusaders finished the 2015–16 season 30–7, 16–2 in Horizon League play to win the regular season championship. They lost in the semifinals of the Horizon League Tournament to Green Bay. As a regular season conference champion who failed to win their conference tournament, the Crusaders received an automatic bid to the National Invitation Tournament.
