As of April 15, 1983[1]; Rankings from AP Poll |
The Cougars were 10–18 overall in the regular season and 4–14 in conference play, last in the standings.[2] There was no conference tournament this season; it debuted three years later.
As they had two years earlier, Washington State hosted the first two rounds in the West regional of the 53-team NCAA Tournament at Beasley Coliseum.[3][4] This was the third and most recent NCAA Tournament in Pullman; the Spokane Arena opened in 1995 and has hosted several times.
The court surface at Beasley Coliseum was tartan (polyurethane) for its first decade;[5] a traditional hardwood floor debuted at the start of this season.[6][7]
