The Toreros finished the 2017–18 season 20–14, 9–9 in WCC play to finish in a three-way tie for fourth place. They lost to BYU in the quarterfinals of the WCC Tournament. The Toreros were invited to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament where they defeated Hartford in the first round, in a game refereed to as the Riley Wallace Classic, and Portland State in the second round before losing in the quarterfinals to Northern Colorado.

On March 8, 2018, head coach Lamont Smith, who had been placed on administrative leave following an arrest for domestic violence 10 days earlier, resigned as head coach.[1] Assistant coach Sam Scholl took over as acting head coach for the Toreros during the WCC Tournament and the CIT.[2] On April 2, the school announced Scholl would remain the head coach.[3]
