// The Mastodons are ranked No. 21 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 Preseason Poll.
// The Mastodons were picked as co-favorites in the 2024-25 Horizon League Preseason Poll. Rasheed Bello and Jalen Jackson were picked as Preseason All-League First Team selections. Quinton Morton-Robertson was named to the second team. The 'Dons were the only team with three all-preseason picks.

// The CIT Championship game against Norfolk State last season was the latest in a calendar year Purdue Fort Wayne had ever played a game. The previous latest game was a loss to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on March 26, 2017 in the CIT.
// The 'Dons were one of only three teams in the Horizon League to play in the postseason last season. Oakland (NCAA Tournament) and Cleveland State (CBI) were the others.
