The Mavericks compete in The Summit League. Led by head coach Chris Crutchfield, they play their games at the on-campus Baxter Arena, which they moved to at the start of the 2015–16 season.

The 2015–16 season was also the first in which they were eligible for the NCAA tournament, NIT, or Summit League tournament; they had been ineligible during the school's four-year transition from Division II to Division I, which began in the 2011–12 season. During this period, they made one appearance in the CIT, a tournament which is not directly sponsored by the NCAA, in 2014. They made their first ever appearance in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament in 2025 after winning the Summit League tournament.
