The Huskies were 22–7 overall in the regular season and 13–7 in conference play; second in the Northern division.[2][3]

This was the final season without an NCAA Tournament and the last for Montana in PCC basketball. Washington went on a postseason barnstorming trip to Hawaii; unchallenged in seven games, they finished with a 29–7 record.

This was the first year of the National Invitation Tournament, which included only six teams.
