Because the NCAA had previously announced that all winter sports athletes would retain whatever eligibility they possessed through at least the following year, none of Connecticut's players would lose a season of play.

The stiff competition handed the Huskies a 1–4–1 record and left the team with wallowing near the bottom of the conference standings.

While facing a slightly easier schedule, the Huskies ended the month a game over .500 and, after defeating Northeastern at the start of February, the team found itself in the top-20.

In spite of their mediocre record, Connecticut had a small chance to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament but it would need a good performance to make itself stand out from the other 'bubble teams'.

Darion Hanson, Ryan Keane, Matt Pasquale, and Bradley Stone sat out the season.
