In his first season as head coach, Tom Crean took a team projected by many in the preseason as sixth in Conference USA's American Division to its first postseason appearance in two years. Facing a schedule that featured 13 games with teams who participated in the 1998 NCAA Tournament, the 33- year old first-time head coach led his squad to 15 victories overall - including two over Top 25 teams DePaul (No. 21) and Louisville (No. 25) - and an 8-8 conference mark.
