The Huskies were 19–4 overall in the regular season and 12–4 in conference play; first in the Northern division for a fifth consecutive year.[2][3] A game behind rival Washington State with two games to play,[4] UW defeated the Cougars twice in Seattle to end the season on a thirteen-game winning streak, eleven in conference.[2][3]
Washington traveled to Oakland for the PCC championship series against California, the winner of the Southern division after a playoff win over USC. The matchup was a repeat of the previous year's series, won by the Huskies in three games in Seattle. This year, the Golden Bears hosted and won both games to take the conference crown.[5][6][7]
The National Invitation Tournament (NIT) debuted in 1938, and the NCAA Tournament in 1939.
