Rankings from AP Poll

Prior to the beginning of the season the Terriers were highly rated. Yet, a concern from coach Lynch was their lack of a home court to practice on. Since 1960, the Terriers have played their home games at the 69th Regiment Armory and the team often practiced while soldiers were conducting drills.

The Terriers finished the season at 11–9, and had marquee victories over Seton Hall, Fordham, and CCNY.
