Members of the Big Sky Conference, the Vandals were led by third-year head coach Joe Cravens and played their home games on campus at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow, Idaho.

The Vandals were 11–15 overall in the regular season and 5–9 in conference play, sixth in the league standings.

Idaho incurred consecutive losing seasons for the first time in a decade, when they had three straight cellar finishes under Bill Trumbo.

A few days later, Cravens was fired by athletic director Pete Liske,[7] and was succeeded by former head coach Kermit Davis.

[8][9] After this season, Idaho (and Boise State) departed for the Big West Conference; Vandal basketball later returned to the Big Sky, beginning with the 2014–15 season.
