In 2015-16, UIW finished the season averaging 74.0 points per game, while shooting 43.5 percent from the field. Over the previous two seasons the Car- dinals ranked in the top 10 nationally in scoring. UIW started to earn respect within the Southland Conference and across the nation after picking up high-profile victories at Princeton and Nebraska in 2014-15. However, even after finishing third in the league last season, the Cardinals were picked to finish 10th in the SLC Coaches Preseason Poll and 11th in the Southland Sports Information Poll.
