The team went 20–4—the best record in school history—and won the Southern Conference tournament championship. The team was coached by Josh Cody, and led by center Jim Stuart and guard John McCall.[1] Cody had a variety of superstitions while coaching his basketball team, including not laundering jerseys during a winning streak until a game was lost, and starting contests with the same lineup.[2]
