The Huskies were 22–9 overall in the regular season and 13–5 in conference play, co-champions with USC.[2][3] There was no conference tournament this season; it debuted two years later.
Washington was seeded fifth in the West regional of the 64-team NCAA tournament, but was upset by Kentucky in the first round in Salt Lake City.[4][5] The Wildcats defeated fourth-seed UNLV and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen, where they fell to St. John's, the top seed in the West.
Harshman, age 67, retired at the end of the season.[2][4][5] Andy Russo, the head coach at Louisiana Tech, was hired in early April.[6][7]
