Previous season

The Ramblers finished 2021–22 season 25–7, 13–5 in Missouri Valley Conference play to finish in a three-way tie for second place. As the No. 4 seed in the MVC tournament, they defeated Bradley, Northern Iowa, and Drake to win the MVC tournament for the second consecutive season. As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 10 seed, where they lost in the first round to Ohio State.

On November 16, 2021, Loyola announced that the season would be the last season for the team in the Missouri Valley Conference as they would join the Atlantic 10 in July 2022.[1]
