The Huskies were 10–17 overall in the regular season and 5–13 in conference play, ninth in the standings.[3] They did not qualify for the eight-team conference tournament; a road loss in the season finale to struggling UCLA dropped Washington to ninth.[4] The year's notable victory was over Stanford in mid-January, the first win over the Cardinal in six years.[5]
Alumnus Romar was hired in April 2002;[6][7] previously the head coach at Saint Louis, he led the Husky program for fifteen years.
