With an overall record of 19–3 they stood alone in Ohio basketball history for the best record after 22 games.[14][15] Their five-game winning streak was snapped in the following game with a second loss to Toledo which left both teams with two losses in MAC conference play.[16] After three consectutive wins following the Toledo loss, the Bobcats then lost 4 out of their last 5 conference games and finished the regular season 23–8 and 14–6 in conference play which was tied for third place in the MAC. During the lone win the that 5 game stretch, starting power forward Ben Vander Plas scored the fourth triple double in program history in a win against Central Michigan.[17][18] After the regular season Vander Plas was named the Division I Academic All-American of the Year[19]
