The Vandals were 23–7 overall in the regular season and 11–3 in conference play, atop the league standings.[2][3] The conference tournament was held in Moscow for the first time in eleven years,[4][5] but the Vandals lost by twelve points to Boise State in the final.[6] Idaho had swept the season series, including a fifteen-point win in Boise the previous week before a conference record crowd of 12,649.[7][8]
At 24–8, Idaho was not selected by the National Invitational tournament,[9] and their season ended.[10] Eustachy left in mid-March for Utah State,[11][12][13] and was succeeded by Utah assistant Joe Cravens in early April.[14][15][16]
