They received the WCC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament where they defeated Georgia State and Memphis to advance to the Sweet Sixteen where they lost to Arkansas.
Offseason
Departures
Due to COVID-19, the NCAA ruled in October 2020 that the 2020–21 season would not count against the eligibility of any basketball player, thus giving all players the option to return in 2021–22.[1] Additionally, any players who have declared for the 2022 NBA draft—including seniors, who must opt into this year's draft—have the option to return if they make a timely withdrawal from the draft and end any pre-draft relationships with agents. Thus, separate lists will initially be maintained for confirmed and potential departures.
