2015 Southland Tournament winner

The Colonels were picked to finish eighth (8th) in both the Southland Conference Coaches' Poll and the Sports Information Directors Poll.[1]

The Colonels were the sixth seed in the 2015 Southland Conference Tournament due to ineligibility of three teams which finished higher in conference play. In the first game of the tournament, the Colonels played the seventh seeded New Orleans Privateers losing 73–82. The Colonels finished the season with a 10–19 overall record and a 7–11 record in conference play tied for eighth place.
