Previous season

The Redbirds finished the 2021–22 season 13–20, 5–13 in MVC play to finish in eighth place. They defeated Indiana State in the first round of the MVC tournament before losing to Northern Iowa in the quarterfinals.

Head coach Dan Muller was fired by the school after the first 26 games of the season after 10 years as head coach, but the school stated he would finish out the season.[1] A day later, Muller announced he would step down immediately and associate head coach Brian Jones was named interim coach for the remainder of the season.[2] On March 7, 2022, the school named Ohio State assistant coach Ryan Pedon as the team's new head coach.[3]

Preseason

The Redbirds were picked to finish in 10th place in the conference's preseason poll.[4]
