The Wildcats were 15–12 overall in the regular season and 6–8 in conference play; despite dropping their final league game at home, they won the tiebreaker for fourth to participate in the conference tournament, hosted again by sixth-ranked Idaho at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow.[1] In the opening semifinal, the Wildcats gave the host Vandals all they could handle at home, but fell short by two points.[2][3][4]
Senior guard Todd Harper was named to the all-conference team, and junior forward Royal Edwards was honorable mention.[5][6][7]
