The Racers, led by fourth year head coach Steve Prohm, played their home games at the CFSB Center and were members of the West Division of the Ohio Valley Conference. They finished the season 29–6, 16–0 in OVC play to win the West Division championship and the overall OVC regular season championship. After a 2–4 start, the Racers won 25 games in a row before losing in the championship game of the OVC tournament to Belmont.
