The Kangaroos finished the season 18–17, 8–6 in WAC play to finish in fourth place. They were victorious over the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in the WAC tournament quarterfinal round but were defeated by New Mexico State University in the semifinal round.

The Kangaroos accepted an invitation to the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) where they were victorious over the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay in the first round but were defeated by the University of Wyoming in the quarterfinal round.

Previous Season
