† 2004 Pacific-10 Tournament winner As of April 4, 2004[1]; Rankings from Coaches Poll[2] |
The Huskies were 17–10 overall in the regular season and 12–6 in conference play, second in the standings.[3]
Washington lost their first five Pac-10 games,[4][5] then won twelve of thirteen to finish as runner-up.[6] In the eight-team conference tournament, they defeated UCLA in the quarterfinal and Arizona in the semifinal, the first team in 65 years to defeat the Wildcats three times in one season.[7] In the final, they met top seed Stanford; a week earlier, the undefeated Cardinal traveled to Seattle and lost by thirteen points.[6] It was a different outcome in the tourney in Los Angeles as Stanford won by eleven points.[8]
Washington returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years, and were seeded eighth in the St. Louis regional. In the first round at Columbus, Ohio, the Huskies scored a hundred points, but lost to ninth seed UAB by two.[9]
