The Cardinal were led by fourth year head coach Trent Johnson, and played their home games at Maples Pavilion as a member of the Pacific-10 Conference.

After the season ended Trent Johnson would leave Stanford and accept the job at LSU.

After a small stumble against #7 Arizona and in-state rival California, the Cardinal followed it up with seven straight wins, four of which against ranked teams.

Following those four wins against ranked teams, they began the next week in the top 25 for the first time under Trent Johnson.

While being ranked, Stanford would lose three of their next four and fall out of the top 25 and ended the regular season going 3-3 in the final six games.
