2015 Southland tournament winner

After former head coach, Pat Knight, was fired on February 16, 2014, the Cardinals finished the season with a record of 1–4 under interim head coach, Tic Price. Price was named head coach on March 18, 2014. The 2014–2015 was coach Price's first season as the Cardinals' head coach.

The Cardinals were picked to finish tenth (10th) in the conference in both the Coaches' Poll and the Sports Information Director polls.

The Cardinals finished the season 15–15, 9–9 in Southland play to finish in sixth place. Due to APR penalties, they were not eligible for postseason play, including the Southland tournament. Compared to total wins (all Division I) for the previous two seasons of three and four respectively, the fifteen wins (eleven wins over NCAA Division I competition) represented a marked improvement.

Two Cardinals were recognized by the Southland Conference at the conclusion of the regular season. Tyran de Lattibeaudiere received several Southland Conference honors. He was named Southland Conference Newcomer of the Year. In addition, he was named to both the conference All-Defense team and the All-Southland Conference, 2nd team. Anthony Holiday was named to the All-Southland Conference, 3rd team.
